    Pin hole through gel coat/fiberglass in tub

    Thanks for the response, sir. Agreed, doesn't have to a)be pretty b)match or c)be the most proper repair. I took a dremel and sanded out/around the holes a bit and added some marine grade, non-shrinking, heat resistant epoxy for anyone curious. Will likely finely light sand some excess away...

    Pin hole through gel coat/fiberglass in tub

    Greetings, Anyone have any advice for repairing/patching a couple very small (less than 1/8" in diameter) dings in the gel coat of the floor of my fiberglass tub? Obviously the long term solution is a repair/replacement but I want to buy some time. I do see some epoxy style products out there...

    Problem with new sump pump! (video link in post)

    Problem with new sump pump! (video link in post)

    I've read plenty regarding check valves having knocks and funny sounds (including sucking and/or fart noises as they close). You could try a few things as others have mentioned: removing the 3rd (lower one could be 'fighting' with it), making sure all the check valves are operating properly, or...

    Moen 1225 Cartridge Replacement

    So i got the replacement buuuut.... I got very curious as to the condition thinking it seemed to make sense that there was debris in the hot water line.... So before I got the replacement I actually tried to see if there was a way to inspect that first. I pulled the cartridge out again...
