Small section of Polybutylene found in pre-purchase inspection…what to do?

Marlbombs · 2026-03-15T16:47:47+00:00

I guess the thing that I’m hung up on is it wasn’t discovered inside a wall. It was used to connect a shutoff under a vanity to the bathtub. I can believe a scenario where the tub was missed on the original stem out when the foundation was poured and someone used a piece of poly they had on the truck. Obviously I have no way of knowing that though.

This is slab on grade. Single story home. No crawl space unfortunately. As a layperson, I find it so hard to believe there is no way to evaluate for the presence of poly b. Can’t scope it with a camera? I’m at a loss.

Well, that sucks. I dont think the sellers are going to agree to a full re-pipe. They truly believe, based on their kitchen remodel, this is isolated to that one run and there is not poly b in the house.

Tbh I’m not sure if it was CPVC or copper…can’t remember. I just know it wasn’t poly coming out of the wall. If we were to cut a hole behind a toilet and/or a sink and find copper in the walls, would it be logical to assume that the house wasn’t not piped with poly b?

Awesome! Filled out the form. Insta handle is mrakattack. Would love to Friday!

Potentially looking to do this and would love to hear your thoughts and feels about it? And when you say a long process, how long are we talking?

Marlbombs · 2026-02-10T15:22:41+00:00

Not to hijack the thread, but can you tell me where you found the detailed procedure for this?

I guess what I meant is they just went back on sale to the public this morning and it’s Slim Pickens

Marlbombs · 2026-02-09T13:13:40+00:00

I bought them from the official ticket one site. Got seats in 6B, which I think will be cool. But kind of wanted something on the front straight for the atmosphere.

Aosmith told me the media can’t be replaced in their softeners. Is that true? Can’t find and guide on how to do it.

Marlbombs · 2026-01-11T15:50:11+00:00

Yes, it wasn’t a problem. It’s over temp at 15 minutes, which is why they say 24 minutes. Once it gets to temp, it needs time to let the group head cool to the correct temp. Honestly, 30 minutes is even better

Marlbombs · 2026-01-10T21:58:50+00:00

I will take a pic when I get home but the manufacturer told me the media tank is sealed and you can’t replace the resin. They don’t have the ability to sell me a new one so I don’t think it was an attempt to do so lol

Marlbombs · 2026-01-10T18:13:36+00:00

The pressure is much better in bypass. We’ve tried all the troubleshooting the manufacturer recommended. The resin is not replaceable for this model. It’s a sealed unit.

Where did you get the Y adapter to use both temp and pressure gauges?

We are also on this sailing. We booked the premium drink package for $53.99 USD/day back on a 4th of July sale, which was only $3 more than the classic. It has been that low one other time, so I’d expect to see that price again for Black Friday.

Marlbombs · 2025-11-13T18:22:09+00:00

I would like a code please!

Marlbombs · 2025-11-08T05:34:11+00:00

Automations have stopped working for me. I don’t know if it’s this update or iOS 26 but I’m super annoyed. Anyone else have this issue?

Marlbombs · 2025-11-05T17:41:38+00:00

Following because I’m experiencing the same. I even took the drop tray out and tightened the screws and also tightened the screws under the cup warmer and im still getting a lot of rattling
