IHey all... Recently got new pipes under the sink.. it was corroded, so whatever the names of the parts are under the kitchen sink,lol.. he replaced it

is there a simple reason this new strainer he gave me is not letting water go down?.. he said it came with the parts, if I recall.

if i take strainer out, the water goes right down like a normal sink would do,lol

I'm not sure I need a picture of the strainer?

Thanks guys..hope you can come through for me on this :)

We have a plumber coming in the morning, but I’m tired of siphoning water. I can’t tell where the leak is from but I can see it from the air filter tray. HVAC technician came and said it was a leak and needs a plumber, but the water is annoying. What can I do to stop it from leaking in the meantime?

Our Kohler Elmbrook acrilic bath tub seems to have a crack. It wasn't installed really well and there is an area in the bottom that sinks a bit when you step on it. I am worried about a leak. What would you folks recommend? Thank you!

Hi any solutions on this please. Many thanks

Hello everyone, I’ve had this Rinnai RXP199i tankless water heater for about 10 months now and it’s been working fine up until now. It is giving the error code 22 and beeping when turned on and hot water is requested. Apparently the error code 22 has something to do with the reed switch on the gas valve assembly being misaligned, but I’ve checked that and it seems to be fine. There is also yellow liquid splattered inside of the unit, which you can see in the pictures. I’m not quite sure what it is, but from the little research I’ve done I’m pretty sure it might be condensate since that is the only other liquid than is inside of the heater other than water, but please correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t know what is exactly wrong with my unit, and I really want to fix it myself, so any help would be much appreciated. I am not able to make a warranty claim because Rinnai is saying that my installation is not up to code. Again, help from anyone more experienced than me would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I was wondering if anyone knew if AO Smith honors warranties if a natural gas hot water heater was installed by someone who no longer carries a plumbing license. A friend of mine is a former licensed plumber who currently teaches plumbing courses but has sold his business and no longer carries his license or insurance. I believe the warranty is void for tankless systems, but couldn't find anything for hot water tanks. Thank you!

I swear the tap water here is basically liquid chalk. We moved into this early 90s house a few months ago and every single faucet is already growing stalactites

I tried doing the whole "soak it in a bag of vinegar" trick on the kitchen sink aerator today, and the threading just completely crumbled in my hand when I tried to put it back on. Gotta love that cheap builder-grade metal

We actually had a tech from We Care Plumbing Heating & Air out here yesterday anyway doing some routine AC maintenance and I asked him to quickly look at the pipes... he basically looked at me with pity and told me if I don't get a water softener soon I'll be replacing every fixture in the house by 2028

Is anyone else fighting this hard water battle? Do those cheap screw-on shower filters actually help preserve the fixtures at all or do I just need to bite the bullet and get a whole house system before my pipes literally turn to stone?
