Your recirc system should be set up on a timer only. There are problems with aquastats.

You should just put a volume control cartridge in the valve body instead of a temp control only. Heck i did'nt even know that Delta made universal valve bodies like this, but then again i normally use MOEN because their cartridges are lifetime gaurenteed and they are made in the good ole U.S.A.

Well i finally met with the head sewer guy,apartment manager,and the resident from one of the smelly apartments (i still could'nt smell anything).You are right about the Public works guy.He was very helpful and super informative.We all got a first hand look at the inside of the two nearest sewer...

Well they cancelled on me today.Apparently a timing conflict for one of the residents.However, i did contact Public Works Sewer Department and they are sending a crew out tomorrow.They mentioned something about some grease traps along that mainline and taking a few samples from a nearby...

Hmmm. Okay thanks for the tips.I was thinking the same thing about it being a city sewer main, but the traps would still have to be dry in order for the smell to come through.I will run a snake into the tub traps and see if it gets wet. Strange thing is that when i show up, the resident says...

It could be easier if you get lucky and find a 2" drain pipe in the wall at the proposed new location of the washer.Then you can cut in a wye or a comby and just worry about proper venting.

What i believe you are refering to is a pressure ballancing valve or sometimes called an isolation valve.These are mandatory in multi-family dwellings here in California.This allows the valve to be serviced without having to shut down the main to complexes that have only one main servicing many...

I dont see how it could pull water from the source and also through the other meter,unless you have a booster pump on one system and/or an open faucet or a leak on your other system.Two check valves (one on each system) would be a good starting point ,and that would prevent cross connection...

I stumbled onto your forum and decided to stop in and learn something.It seems that i could never know it all in the field of plumbing.Thanks.
