I need to add some additional information which I omitted...the City of Columbia, SC around 2 years ago installed electronic meters and if I remember correctly is when my water pressure/volume dropped. Before the meter change, I had to keep the water pressure at the main valve lower as it was...

Hello, I have been having a problem for the past year or 2 with low water pressure or volume, not sure which one it is, but when I try to run more than 1 faucet at a time the water barely will come out of the second faucet when I open it. Two people cannot take showers without 1 shower just...

The valve at the meter box is wide open. Where else should I check? Thanks

Hello, Around a year ago the city where I live installed new electronic meters so they could read the meters easier and I swear ever since then my water pressure went from very high, to the point I had to cut the pressure down at the meter, to very low now, where if I have my washing machine...

Hello, I just purchased this toilet for my downstairs half bath and when the plumber installed it the tank was sitting right against the wall. He flushed the toilet a couple of times but it did not flush completely. He found out that this type of toilet needs to be away from the wall slightly...

I replace the fill valve with a Fluidmaster valve and it does not have the big float valve in the tank. I will have to double check to see how much water is in the tank. I did adjust it so more water would go into the tank but I do not believe there is too much water in there. Like I said, when...

Hi all, I have an old, at least 15 year old, Eljier toilet in my master bathroom that will flush maybe once out of 3 times you flush it and when it does flush the flush is very weak. When it does not flush the water will just spin in the toilet and will not go down. I have replaced the flapper...

Hello, I have an older Whirlpool dishwasher that is continuing to slowly fill with water when it is off. We do not use the dishwasher at all since the baskets are rusted and it would cost more to replace the racks than purchase a new dishwasher. One thing I need to add is that since our...

Here are a few pics of what I am dealing with with my rusted disposal flange.

Hi all, I have an Insinkerator Premier 3/4 HP disposal that is leaking at the sink. This was installed by me around 3 years ago. The leak must have been going on for a while but my wife did not notice it until yesterday. Anyhow, I have tried a number of times to try to remove the clamp but...

Hello, I just noticed yesterday that one of the outdoor spigots on my house is starting to drip. My house sits on a slab so I cannot get underneath the house to see if it is the pipe or the spigot. My house has vinyl siding on it and I would have to guess some sort of cement board behind the...

Hi all, I am looking to replace the toilet in my downstairs half bath. I am looking for an elongated toilet. I am looking for a decent toilet that will flush and stay clean. I have been looking at Toto, American Standard, Kohler and Delta but the more I look the more confused I am getting...

Hello, I have 3 Eljier toilets that came with my house, which are around 15 years old. They all seem to flush the same now. If you do not hold down on the handle for a couple of seconds they will not empty the bowl no matter what is in it. I was wondering if there was a way to clean them to...

I have narrowed down my choices to either the Toto Drake (model #CST744E#1) which I found online for $220.65 or the American Standard Cadet 3 (model #715AA) which I found for $239. Please let me know what you think of these models whether they are good or bad choice. Thanks.

Any particular model Kohler you recommend. I was looking at the 3987 model which had some decent reviews.

Hello, I am in need of replacing the toilet in our downstairs half bath. It is very old and clogs constantly. I have been doing some research online and see advantages and disadvantages for Kohler, Toto and American Standard. At this point I am not sure which one of these to get. I have a...
