    Rear up flush toilet

    Rear up flush toilet

    I was thinking the same thing. Yes like a saniflo. It’s the 10th unit I’ve installed but never had this situation cause me to think without toilet. I guess I had a brain fart thinking this pump sucked the toilet after a certain pressure is reached in water level. But yeah it should work

But can these toilets be used as standard European style rear flush ? My drain is right out side. We elected...

    How many years would you guarantee a Sharkbite repair?

    Not just for me to collect faster. But just let them be aware of the false rumors of coppers lasting permanently. And to start saving up for the repipe. Could be next year or next decade. But yes. I make them aware that sharkbite. Like any plumbing. It has a failure age. Sharkbite only been out...

    How many years would you guarantee a Sharkbite repair?

    Yeah I did ramble. The word ,permanent , in a plumbing question got me. I guarantee them until we repipe. Don’t literally scare them into next week. “Next week” was an exaggeration of simply “ in the future”. Mine in my house is 16 years old and still holding.

    Sump Pump: Water Powered Back-up

    Seen them. They use 8-10 gallons of fresh water to pump 1 gallon of waste. electric pump and extension cord wrapped up in garage will go a long way. Solar panel for when electric goes off.

    Tech support will walk you through and warranty most any part. Your gonna have to talk to them to order the part. Trust me. As a certified tech.

    Irrigation Backflow preventer water hammer?

    I am by no means a back flow expert. But the 10 times I have experienced this. There was the tiniest piece of trash in the seals of backflow. I mean super tiny. Once was a pipe dope finger print. If it worked as it stands before. It will continue to work as is. Just clean it.
