Why Re-Piping Your House is Worth It

https://www.masterplumbing.com/plumbing/why-re-piping-your-house-is-worth-it/

Picking your next remodeling project can be exciting. However, figuring out what renovations you need can be tricky if you’re not keeping a detailed list that you modify every time you come across another problem. While many homeowners like to transform their kitchen or bathroom, they don’t think about the pipes running through the entire house. 

Upgrades Are Worth It

Pipes will eventually wear out at some point. Like everything else in your home, you need to replace them. You wouldn’t keep a microwave or a washing machine if they no longer serve their purposes. So if your current pipes have outlived their usefulness, then upgrades are worth it. Pipes are built to last, but think about how often water mains in your town break. Pipes that are older than fifty years old are at their breaking point. Copper pipes tend to last longer than this benchmark, and galvanized pipes could still be there a hundred years from now. That said, poor water quality will take its toll. Plus, any damage issues can cause old plumbing to stop working.

Get Rid of Old Pipes

Get rid of old pipes. It’s pointless to put it off. For one thing, using chemical drain cleaners will do more harm than good. Pipes from all of the most recent decades except the most recent ones will need to be replaced with newer ones. This is because you don’t want to rely on polybutylene pipes anymore. At one time, they made for excellent alternatives to lead pipes. The problem is that these pipes are prone to breaking, which is another reason to get them out of your house.

Address Water Pressure and Color Problems

Water pressure problems can also become a problem. Most of the time, this is for a simple reason, such as someone running the dishwasher while you’re trying to take a shower. If you get your water from the city, then other problems could be affecting how much flow you are getting. Then again, it could just be your pipes. Flakes of rust and bits of dirt can cause the water to turn disgusting colors. Even if the water is technically safe to use, you won’t want to. Leaks can also point out that something has gone wrong and you need to deal with it right away.

How to Replace the Splash Guard on a Garbage Disposal

https://www.benjaminfranklinplumbing.com/expert-tips/how-replace-splash-guard-garbage-disposal

That flappy rubber gasket around your garbage disposal drain can last for years if you clean it regularly and only use your disposal sparingly. But when it becomes cracked or brittle, there’s no excuse not to go ahead and replace it. New gaskets usually cost less than $10 at your local hardware store, and the job can be done in fifteen minutes or less.

Get Ready to Work

To begin, all you need is a bucket, a replacement splash guard and a screwdriver. Whether you need a flathead or Phillips head screwdriver depends on the types of screws used to connect the drain pipe and dishwasher line to the side of the disposal. Check this before you begin, and while you’re under the sink, clear out everything in the cabinet so that you have space to work.

Next, disconnect the disposal from its power source. Many disposals have a cord that plugs into an outlet under the sink -- unplug it and it’s safe to work. If your disposal is hardwired, go to your breaker box and flip the breaker switch for the disposal. Test your disposal to ensure it’s disconnected.

Finally, enlist the help of a friend or family member if one is available to help reattach the disposal at the end of the process. One person can do this alone, but it’s a lot easier with a second set of hands.

Disconnect the Disposal

Start by disconnecting the drain pipe, usually made of plastic or metal, that extends from your disposal to the wastewater line. This is usually connected with two or more screws. If you have a second line connecting the disposal to the dishwasher, remove that connection as well. But keep in mind that there may be water in these lines, so position the bucket underneath and be prepared for splashdown when you initially remove them.

Next, you’ll need to loosen the locking ring that attaches the disposal to its mount. Slide your screwdriver into one of the tube-shaped fittings around the edges of the ring and use it as leverage to turn the ring counter-clockwise. It might take some effort to get it moving, but once it’s loose enough to turn with one hand, move your other hand to support the bottom of the disposal. When you’ve fully loosened the ring, the disposal will drop straight down. Set it on the floor of the cabinet.

Replace the Splash Guard

This is the easy part. The splash guard fits snugly on top of the disposal like a plastic lid on a can of peanuts. Just peel the old one off, wipe the top of the disposal clean, and snap the new one on.

Reconnecting the Disposal

This is the tricky part: holding the heavy disposal in place while you tighten the locking ring with the screwdriver. If someone is available to hold the disposal while you take care of tightening the ring, that’s ideal. If you lie on your back underneath the sink, it may make it easier to reconnect the disposal on your own. You can also stack books or other sturdy objects underneath the disposal to prop it into place.

With the disposal firmly reattached, simply reconnect the drain and dishwasher lines, then reconnect the power. Flip the switch to make sure everything’s working as it should.

And that’s that! Clean your new splash guard regularly and it will stay like-new for months or years.

What causes some toilet bowls to have a nearly explosive flush while others are much more “peaceful”?

https://www.quora.com/What-causes-some-toilet-bowls-to-have-a-nearly-explosive-flush-while-others-are-much-more-peaceful/answer/Charlie-Gonzales

You know it’s difficult to say but I imagine it has something to do with the design of the toilet. I mean in reference to having a powerful Flush.

Mostly the reason is that Since The Water Conservation has been in Effect. Water Conservation Toilets. Have been designed to work on less water flow. Which are now 1.6 Gallons or Less Per Flush.

And some toilets are Designed to work with a 1/2 Gallon Flush. Those mostly have like a pump.

Where as Before They Where 3 + Gallons per flush or More, sometimes as high as 5 - 7 gallons per flush which was in the 1980s (Way To Much Water). But usually around 3.5 gallons per flush was there usage later. And at the present time is 1.6 G.P.F.

Anyways the thing I would like to mention is that I use The American Standard Toilet. Called Champion 4 Max Tall Height 2 Piece High Efficiency. 1.28 G.P.F. Elongated Toilet. On the Box of the Toilet it has a picture of A Bunch of Golf Balls Being Poured in and Flushed. It costs 199.00 At The Home Depot.

Another toilet I also use is The Kohler Cimarron Comfort Height . 1.28 G.P.F. Elongated Toilet for 199.00.

And I also use the Toto Brand ( a Little more Pricey.)
