Mark Weldon wrote: Mr. Davidson, I’m looking to purchase one of these units and up here I seem to have to first buy the unit and vent kit seperately ( costing me more $ ) then the original price quoted is too low and the dealer seems like they want to charge me more money. Could you please enlighten me to the cost of the om -148 toyo water heater in your neck of the woods so I can see if what I’m paying is legit or I’m being Gouged ? Thanks Mark

Gedit wrote: Hi, In my pool the water is not so crystal clear. I wash my filter about every week and it runs daily from 9-5. Still when I use an Algae brush, a cloud of green dust will puff up which makes the water looks even worse. I have adjusted the chmicals and I do so weekly, but to no avail. I also have the Great White Vac cleaner running all day with the pump but it seems to do nothing much… How do I get sparkling clear water back again? Thanks, Gedit

Redwood wrote: In the basement follow the drainpipe from the first floor tub to whee it connects to other drains that are not affected by the clog. There is no noubt in my mind that the second floor tub connects before that point. You will have to effectively snake the distance from the first floor tub to where it connects with the other drains that are not affected.

Redwood wrote: Hi Jay, The answer I’m going to give you will probably render the point of this being enclosed in a closet pointless. But, yes you can enclose this unit in a closet. Now for the kicker! It sounds like you are planning on using this unit for a whole house water heater and I would consider it to be woefully inadequate in that application. In fact even most larger electric tankless water heaters yield disappointing results in whole home applications except in the extreme southern states where winter water supply temperatures are still quite high. At it’s best scenario hooked up to 240 vac power it will provide 3 gpm of hot...
Topic: How To Fix Seven Types Of Leaky Faucets Freshness: 2 days 10 hours ago Reply
Redwood wrote: Hi Darren, You could cetainly attempt to change the washers however, depending on age, water conditions, and the condition of your hose bibb it may not work. The stem if replacement is needed will probably not be available and the seat on these cheap valves cannot be replaced. Many times the water leaking past the seat and washer eodes the seat leaving a groove which will only tear up a new washer after a few uses. It is possible to use a seat cutter to smooth the seat. What it all boils down to if it was me I would not bother trying to play with the old valve but instead would go ahead and replace it. They are cheap valves and are really not designed for...

Redwood wrote: Hi Larry, When you say that you swapped cartriges I’m not sure if you swapped the hot & cold or, swapped in new. If you swapped sides I would definitely try new and see what happens then. The new cartridges O-Ring should be lubricated with a grease per Moen specs when installed. The cartridge relies on the O-Ring to seal against leakage and it is possible that it may have been damaged on insertion into the valve body. The bore of the faucet body may also have some debris from the old O-Ring bonded to the bore causing a rough spot or the bore may have been scratched or eroded from the leak also. If the bore of the faucet body is not smooth where...

jd wrote: Here in Alaska we run into cold weather issues often w/ oil. Check 1. Is the fuel oil supplied type 1 or type 2? 2. Do you have a Tiger Loop installed on the Burner? These help warm the oil before it hits the nozzle. 3. Do you have a water filter? 4. Have you tried wrapping a heat trace on the fuel supply line with poly insulation around it? Usually if a burner works adequatly in warm temps, it will with correct protection on the fuel supply. In extreme temps a Day tank can be used, ensuring room air temp fuel hits the burner, eliminating gelling of the oil.

Redwood wrote: Hi Jody, Generally the leaking you are talking about would be caused by worn components in the shower valve. Several scenarios exist that could cause this and it would depend on if the water was running into the washer as the leak occurs or, if you were doing a hot wash load and the water heater was reheating. The first scenario where the water was filling the washer may be the result of a lower water pressure which on some valves such as Delta and Peerless use a rubber cup type of seat that uses water pressure to assist in sealing. The rubber seat is badly enough worn that there is no longer enough pressure to seal properly while the water is running....

Nicholas Lamb wrote: Our Baxi 1.656 is almost 2 years old. When first installed it only made a loud click and a hushed whirring sound as the fan started up, Within 3 months it started to make a loud rumble when starting up. It is intermittent, but has continually been getting worse. It can now go on for 10 seconds and cycles up and down in volume. It sounds like an old car that almost stalls after turning on the ignition. I am sure it is exactly what is being described here and we can hear it in our Master bedroom which is 2 stories above the boiler and 25 feet away from the vertical flue. I have had the installer back for a total of 4 times, and it has never been improved...

Boris wrote: EdenPure is lying about several things. -The infomercial I saw tonight (11/14/09) shows an inexpensive electric heater on screen as it is explained how other heaters rob the air of oxygen and put out toxic fumes. This is a blatant lie when it comes to electric heaters as there is no combustion which is required to burn oxygen; fumes also come only from a combustion heater. Anyone using such a heater in their house could be in danger of asphyxiation unless properly installed to vent combustion fumes to the outside. -The EdenPure unit is 1500 watts and puts out appx 5000 BTUs but all electric heaters are 100% efficient so the claim (explicit or implied) that the EdenPure puts...
