Hello!
After reluctantly taking on a few simple plumbing projects over the years, I've decided to join this forum in the hopes of better preparing myself for what might come next.
We just moved into a house in Las Vegas and it has been a job learning all the different water features: salt pool/spa system (possibly leaking), water softener, RO water, hot water recirculator, solar collector drainback.
As of last week we had one leaky faucet (I fixed) and a drip from a pitted galvanized fitting on the water heater drain (sowed with putty but not yet fixed).
Two plumbers in the area wouldn't touch the drip job because we have this solar collector drainback system. The company that installed it years ago (Integrated Solar, Phoenix) appears to have disappeared. Now that I've bypassed the collector I suppose I can change the fitting myself; hate to dump 50G of water though!
Glad be here lurking. I'm a EE by training so maybe I can contribute on some level.
