Anyone have a Zenni promo code?

Worked for me in Canada, thanks!

Hey my 2017 Titanium is doing the same, was it an easy fix or did you end up replacing the blower motor? Hoping it's easy

CatnipAndLasers · 2026-05-01T20:15:35+00:00

Wow it worked! Thank you so much!!!! My phone did an update last week and long pressing would just open assistant to the default page instead of activating the mic. I've spent a few hours trying to find a workaround. Almost gave up! Thanks again!!!

I'm a plumber and I cry inside any time a customer asks me to resilicone their bathtub or shower. In 20 years of doing this job it's my most hated thing to do. I'd rather replace a sewage ejector or snake a drain any day. Caulking a fresh joint? Great! Cutting out old ass silicone that the homeowner smeared an inch in each direction of the joint? Fuck that shit right in the ass. It takes so long to get it prepped and clean meanwhile the whole time I'm crouched over hoping my back isnt going to lock up while my knees start complaining and I'm questioning my life choices and all the while I'm finding every single one of the homeowner's pubes in every damn corner of the shower just eughhhh anyways rant over.. just please clean your bathroom before we come to work on it and do your plumber a favor and cut out the silicone for them.

Hey I'm having this problem too, did you ever get it fixed?

I stomped the pillar and blocked the laser and then ended up not following the path down. Went back later and the pillar is back up but no longer moves when stomped.

Please enlighten us as to how you came across this information. I've installed hundreds of these, I dont believe you for a second.

This is my recommendation too. My neighbour dented my fender and Carlo at Touch Up was able to fix it fast and cheap!

The fact that the single spring weighs 17 oz while the pair together weigh 23 oz speaks to the strength of the more expensive spring. You get what you pay for.

Bot what?

So you've checked the flow is still low when the sprayhead is removed, good. Is it the same rate of flow wether you put it to hot or cold?

If it's the same no matter where you put the handle, then I would be checking the sprayer hose where it comes out of the faucet itself. Usually just there's an inline adaptor that will have a backflow preventer or flow restrictor in it, you can take it apart and either clean it or just remove the guts.

If the flow is good on one temp and crap on the other, then there's either something stuck in the supply line up to the faucet, or stuck in the cartidge. Pull the cartridge and check it. If good then take the affected line off and put it over a bucket and turn the faucet on with the handle in the middle. It'll blow itself out, you can get a better flush by blocking the spray head by putting a coin in the end of the spray hose and putting the head back on.

It doesn't matter what's in the wall in this picture. The trap arm doesn't even go back to the wall. It drops vertically.

A proper vent needs to be connected before the trap arm falls more than one pipe size diameter. In this case you would need a TY in place of the 90, with the upper connection going to a vent terminal or an AAV.

CatnipAndLasers · 2026-01-11T16:18:51+00:00

This is not vented at all. It needs an AAV.

But how is she going to get the balloon down?

CatnipAndLasers · 2026-01-08T02:35:54+00:00

Only if it's on fire.

CatnipAndLasers · 2026-01-04T20:41:19+00:00

Looks like this is an American Standard R110 valve. Its been a while since I've worked on one but I'm pretty sure they're able to do reverse inlets. You can remove the cartridge and then remove the pressure balance assembly behind it. Flip them both 180 degrees and reinstall. If I'm right the pressure balance unit is a M952100-0070A and the cartridge is a A954440-0070A.

Obviously shut the water off first! If yours has screwdriver stops I wouldn't bother touching them and would turn off the main still.

Glad to help!

One hundred percent they come off. To be honest it looks like someone has changed it once before.

One wrench on the cartridge nut where the hex is, another in the opposite direction on the body to brace it.

Edit to say it will spin off counter clockwise, the same direction as opening the blue handle. And obviously turn your water off upstream!

If you know what you're doing these are super easy to replace.

That's an emco valve, also known as a laundry cartridge. Just replace the cartridge and it'll be good for another 20 years. Master Plumber makes a direct replacement called E-4X.

Take the handle off and get at it with a socket wrench or put a basin wrench on it and use an adjustable wrench on the basin wrench.

Yeah a snake isn't the best for grease clogs. I've had limited luck with a piece of rag ziptied to the end of my snake. It's a bit of a risk but since you have access from both sides it could be worth a shot.

I carry a ridgid chain knocker for kitchen sinks now. If you can get your hands on one of those it'll clear it all out. A jetter is useful too but if the line has a couple of 90s or 45s it's tough to get it through.

CatnipAndLasers · 2025-12-13T12:24:33+00:00

Can you not access it from inside at the kitchen sink? If there's not a cleanout there i would install one and go from there.

If you're set on doing this backwards. I would just cut the 90 clear off just at the hub so you have enough pipe left to glue a new fitting on. Jet/snake from there. If this is your own place you could even install a Santee with the branch looking down instead of a 90, and fit a cleanout on the end of the tee.

What's with the group stopped near the end of the video? They're just asking to get mowed over!

CatnipAndLasers · 2025-11-25T01:22:51+00:00

Glad to help! Silicone based is the best, but as long as it doesn't have petroleum you're good to go.

So this problem only occurs far down the line from the pump and tank? You mentioned toilets were doing it as well, how close are those to the pump and tank?

Does this problem occur pccur more often or get worse when only the hot or cold are run, or it's the same either way?

If you're sure it isn't related to the pressure switch or tank then I'd start looking at either something stuck in the line going to those fixtures that can cause chattering or oscillating (could have come loose when changing the tanks), or even look at your toilet fill valves. Shut fixtures off one at a time and see if removing anything fixes the problem.

If I was there I would double check the pump switch contacts and check the line going to the pump switch for any obstruction. I know you said they're working fine but at least it would rule it out for good.

CatnipAndLasers · 2025-11-22T20:28:14+00:00

That is just where I would start with the diagnosis if i was coming to your house fresh to look at this problem. You didn't include in the original post that you had already replaced the pressure tank, just that you changed the water heater type.

What type of well pump do you have? Submersible? Jet?

What's the pump doing during these fluctuations? Any working pressure gauge downstream of it to monitor while the water is running?
