I tried it closed, halfway open, and wide open. No change in the amount used per day, or days until recharge... how can we possibly only be using 30 gal a day? There is something in the manual about changing something in the programming, as it is used in two different models. I was hesitant to...

Anybody?

Hi again guys and gals. We just purchased and installed a brand new GE water softener. Model GXSH40V. Our hardness is 35 or so. I set it up per directions and ran a manual recharge, and it worked like a champ. It has auto metering, and the display is showing 348 days until next recharge, while...

so.... My crappy water softener that hasn’t worked in two years, just started to leak from the bypass, and I really can’t see paying for a part for a broken water softener, so of course I need one ASAP... How hard are they to install? I’m no plumber, but I’m fairly bright... I haven’t called...

So flush valve size is important. Good to know.. I’m finding most 1.28 gpf toilets have 3 “ flush valves. I found an American Standard that has.a 4”, for $30 more. It’s only a 1.28 gpf though. I’d really like a 1.6 gal though. Would you buy this American Standard 4”, complete kit w/slow close...

What’s so great about Toto’s ?

hi, I’m looking for recommendations for s good, inexpensive high flush toilet... I have low flush toilets and they suck!!! Someone mentioned Toto toilets? But they’re pricy.... I’m curious what are the highest flush toilets on the market? And not too pricy, as I’m replacing all 3 of my toilets

I was afraid you were going to say that... we’ve lived here 14 years, and never had to have our septic pumped out.... Could that be the issue? Or will they just say, oh yeah! That’s it, then when they pump it out, they’ll claim the Drains also need snaking or cleaning?? I just would rather know...

Im going to replace two toilets, and the downstairs toilet backs up half the time, and the upstairs does it less frequently, but it happens... I have two snakes, one small wire one that reels up into its holder, then I have a heavy duty, probably an 1 1/2 inch solid flat steel one.. (That I...

So, I poured about a gallon in the bowl quickly, the bowl flushed, sort of, meaning the water whooshed out of the bowl without actually flushing, and then the water level was even lower, almost to low to see. So I slowly added about a gallon or so, and the water level returned to where it was...

Yes, it's connected. I figured out that it's a universal Rundle Corp 4490 1.5 Which I assume means a 1.5 gal flush So irs not a low flow toilet, just can't figure why the target area/water level is so low? The tank is filled almost to the top of the fill pipe, and I've poked around under the...

Okay, so I figured out its not UPC, but URC... The letters overlap in the logo, so it's apparently a Universal Rundle Corp. 1.5 gallon toiket? So this isn't a low flow toiket, so why the toilet bowl level is so low baffles me. I've poked around under the rim and don't note any obstructions. The...

Not sure why I'm not seeing all five pics I uploaded? Here's the inside of the tank

I've read elsewhere that aside from adjusting the fill valve, there is no way to adjust the water level in the bowl. The target area is far too small, and replacing the fill valve didn't change a thing. The waters up to the fill line in the tank, but the bowl level remains low. It's not a two...

I have an older toilet, and I can't identify what model it is... It's not filling the bowl to a decent level, even though I've replaced the fill valve and all other components. It's older, and not a dual flush system, so I don't think it's a low flow toiket. The "target" area in the bowl is far...

Thanks! Right!?? Thats kinda where I am right now....Might try to get a more accurate test kit...., but I guess I shouldnt go looking for trouble.....Damn thing will stop working at some point, and I'll have to replace it...:p Thanks for your responses...its appreciated.

Yeh, Finally the old one really started leaking a lot, so my brother in law who works construction got me a plumber to come out for 65$ an hour... They took 4 hrs. to put the damn one in cuz they had to go buy another comealong to get it in the attic.... They're only gonna bill me $150 for the...

Ok, Im going to come clean...we moved into a house, and I totally just ignored the water softener, and like never cleaned it, serviced it or nothin.... Now Ive had a "come to jesus", and I want to make sure its "ok"...haha... I filled it with salt, and yes....it comes on and runs for about...

Ok...try to make a long story short. Current water heater is a 50 gal. AO smith, with a first hour rating of 58 gal. I tried to cheap out, and found a brand new, unused water heater on craigslist. Its a Reliance 1212, which is made by AO smith, or so I was told. Like an idiot, when I picked...
