The carbon filter doesn't have much effect for well water. Carbon is mainly good for chemicals. not minerals or bacteria

Maybe the building has weak water pressure, or someone didn't install a 1" water line to that toilet. Is it the only toilet in that bathroom with the issue? Are there any other toilets in that area? Is it an old toilet with calcium build up in the rim of toilet? Does the flush valve just needs...

Looks like a kohler stem

I would place the unit in bypass for a few days to see if the problem still continues. If it stops then you know it must have something to do with the softener. I have personally never seen softener cause this to happen.

Well softener has resin and it isn't black. Instead of placing softener resin in unit, they could have placed filter media in unit which is black. If they didn't backwash unit after new media was placed inside, it could be dust residue from wrongly installed filter media. At this point thats the...

Make sure your water is off at the shower valve itself with internal stops, or shut you main water down. Depending on the type of shower valve you are dealing with. Single Handle or 2/3 handle. If single handle, you need to replace the cartridge within the valve. If 2/3 handle valve, you...

What I have done on situations like this is take the toilet off, find a large enough piece of cardboard to place on the ground.Get a 5gallon bucket to place on the cardboard, then carefully balance toilet on the bucket. Get your garden house to fill toilet tank up. once full then you can flush...

CPVC piping doesn't need a sleeve that is an exception that is allowed. I still think it should be sleeved with 3/4" pipe to prevent any potential leaks as far as settling goes. But you know code is bare minimum, were as to I go above and beyond that.

So say I wanted to put just a toilet in my garage and that's it. Main sewer is aprox 25' away, ideally I wouldn't need to place a vent on that line since it's not limited and there's a. Vent on the house. Or does a vent need to be within at least 10' of toilet?

If you know how to use a multi meter I would first check to see if power is going to heater and making sure both wires have 120v going to them, if so turn your breaker off and check your ohms on elements those should be between 12 - 16oh if both elements are good I would check to see if you have...

Another possibility I have run into before was a homeowner had a 75 gallon gas water heater and had just installed a cullagain water softner and filter and it was the heater descaling on the inside and leaving the same particle chunks. Do they crush at all or stay solid?

Look like a moen to me ask well

Each well is very different. Most all of Florida has hard water. It may not be as hard up to 18 grains. If you live in the Tampa area I would look into a company in Odessa called Leveredge. They use a product called Guardian and i works excellent. The company I work for uses them all the time...

Why not actually dig up the problem area and replace the pipe where problem is at. That's a permanent solution.

That makes no sense John cause you can't eat fecies nor toilet paper, and I wouldnt throw scrapes from dinner down the toilet.

Holy crap thats alot of Vents. Seems like they have everything individually vented.

Have you tried to just put some of that litter in some water yourself to see what it does and how long it takes to break down if it even breaks down. Cause it doesnt make sense if it gets wet it turns to dust cause then how does the pee from the cast solidify to be able to scoop it out. And...
