I'm looking at possibly putting in a whole house water filter, and I like this guy's take on it. Examine local water report and design the filter based on what might need to be removed. https://cleanairpurewater.com/ Is this a good way to go about a whole house water filter? And anybody have...

Are hydronic air heaters a fairly new thing, or are they more common in some areas than others? I'm in Southern California, and was looking to replace my water heater with a Noritz Combi tankless, with the thought that it could then work together with a Lennox hydronic air heater. But I'm not...

Are exterior access panels behind a shower valve not very common? I'm not seeing many examples of them in a bit of searching. Something like this - http://czkatalog.info/plumbing-access-panel/ Both of my showers back up to the same exterior wall, and it's basically my utility wall on the...

I have a three valve irrigation setup I'm re-doing. I have the cemented connections done to the pipe from down under. Under pressure so far for almost 5 hours, so I think I'm good there. http://www.gthomson.us/projects/landscaping/sprinklers/fifthandlast.jpg Just above the sched 80...

I had to do a fix like this a few years ago, and I think I did okay on it, and improved with your help. I have another similar, but a little more complex. At which point is the water plumbing from curb to house best to then transition to junctions that are not cemented together? I...

I'm looking to change out my 20 year old water heater (thought it was 18, but time flies...) And want to replace it with a tankless, and possibly re-locate it from inside the garage to outside the garage about 20' away on the other side of the garage. I did a crude photo of what I'd like to...

I'm just starting to look into replacing my 18 year old water heater. And I think I want to go tankless with the Noritz NR66. Small house - Southern California weather - 930sqft house - me an my pooch living here - 2.5 bedroom and 2 bath, for a bird's eye perspective. Attached is a picture of...

I'm converting some sprinkler zones to drip converted setups, and replacing the old risers with shorter ones with a cap. They all seem to come off the 3/4" line and have 2-3 elbows before the riser. And they've all been left pretty loose on those elbow connections - not even hand-tight or with...

Mom is buying a house and the inspector noted that the water heater vent above roof length was not above the minimum of 12". The house was built in 2003 and is in California. I think it makes sense to ask for it to be fixed if building code in 2003 said it needed to be more than 12". If not...

While adding a lever shut off valve just before a sprinkler valve on a metal riser, I turned too much, and it broke off the iron nipple going into the PVC T underground. Attached is a picture of the setup, the main thing different is that it was a 1 1/4" T on all sides previously. The nipple to...
