Thanks, I'll read that soon. I'm at a fancy college dinner surrounded by people in expensive suits and dresses. I couldn't be more out of place. Being electrocuted by my water heater seems like a pleasant option at this point....lol

Thanks, I had to return the meter so I'll have to recheck later. My hunch is everything is fine but I'd like to be sure. I'll make sure to disconnect the wires next time.

OK, here goes. Using a Fluke 335 True RMS Clamp Meter. Power on, Top thermostat lead, (black and red wires), tested at 241 volts. Power on, top element, testing ohms, 13, solid beep. Power on, lower element, ohms, 0.0, beeping. (One of the elements was on, shower was running, if that...

I recently pulled both my elements out and cleaned them (ended up replacing the lower one), replaced the anode rod (that was reduced to the size of a few pencil leads) and flushed it out a few times. The other day, when replacing the drain with a brass one, I noticed a layer of sediment (and...

I know a decent amount about plumbing, but when it comes to anything electrical, I'm all thumbs. My wife is complaing that there's not enough hot water. I've done basic maintenance on the water heater, replacing an element, among other things. With the breaker off, both elements tested around 13...

Not that this thread really matters anymore, but in case anyone is looking for an inexpensive bathroom faucet under 50 bucks, the Peerless Bayside is a good option. Install was a snap and seems sturdy and well made. I generally don't buy expensive bathroom faucets, so I don't have much to...

Returned it, got a Peerless "Bayside". Perfect reviews, we'll see how it goes. Any other reasons for the other one to be leaking from center? Other than aerator, anything I'm not considering?

Thanks Mr David. From what I've been reading online, you're spot-on. Plan on returning it soon. Just couldn't fathom why it was leaking there. I screw up quite often doing plumbing work, so I figured it was me. Looks like I may be off the hook lol. Thanks.

Hello all, newbie here. Not an experienced plumber, but have spent plenty of time with pipe dope on my hands. Installed a bathroom faucet on my utility sink (3 hole, 4 " on center, pretty standard). It's leaking through the center hole at the bottom. Everything is tight, aerator is snug, just...
