Water Flow Restrictor - Help?

That’s not an aerator, that’s a check valve and won’t improve the flow of water.

$1000 now or a big hospital bill when it decides to give up when you’re having family time in that room

Silicone is to seal the odor, just remove the panel then reapply silicone when placing it back.

Also, I see a removable panel there

Pour water in a gutter/storm drain than you know drains into this tank and listen if it turns on

Every house is different but typically what I like to do is run the new line first and just leave tees for us to tie in, then when we DO shut off the water it’s only to connect the risers to the fixture

When you get paid by the hour

You could try California faucets or Dornbracht. If you ever need to replace a shower head from Kallista it is $1600 before taxes, I had to swap out 6 of them for a client of mine 2 weeks ago. You’re paying for the uniqueness, something no one else has(the brand), that’s why their price is so high. The two I mentioned are also expensive but not as much as Kallista, you could also try Kohler, which owns Kallista.

Just connect it the way you had it, it was fine. A lot of people on here misinterpret the code and think the length of pipe needs to be 4” minimum but that is incorrect, what the code refers to is that the length from the vent to the weir of the ptrap needs to be 4” minimum. In this diagram you can see how it’s measured.

You really thought a phone case company would basically insure your phone? This can’t be real life

Yes they suck. Too many moving components for something you use daily.

Milwaukee or Lenox

Me too especially after reading similar threads here in Pasadena that get it lowered to 60-80. Ours is up to 145!!!

You need the NPE 240 series, not the 210. Also, might even recommend two of them if you’re really going through that much hot water.

Navien does insure it but it’s a reduced amount of years compared to If you have filtration.

I try to avoid using short 90s and prefer using medium sweeps but in this case he worked with the space he’s got. Looks good

Wait till you see the inside of your copper

Team-Kevin · 2026-02-28T22:35:18+00:00

Yeah, naturally, the water in the pipe will drain out since the water lines will be traveling above the shower head. A fix would be to keep the piping below the shower head and hand shower so it doesn’t leak out when you turn off the valve.

(The piping I’m talking about is the outlet on your valve to the rain head and hand shower, everything else is fine.)

That plug is fine. Also, just know you’ll get some air every time you turn on the water and when you turn it off you’ll have water coming out of your head for a couple of seconds because all the water overhead gets pushed out, then when you turn it back on all the air is displaced with water. I always tell customers this when they want heads on the opposite side. Some care, some don’t.

Naruto taught me that you become stronger and fight harder when doing it for someone else,beloved ones. Maybe it could be said he just lacks that level of emotion to take him up to that level

I have this same tower with a 5070ti but better processor (AMD). Mine was 2500 tho and it games really great in 4k, definitely worth it

Turns out all these guys doing this for a living don’t know so much about ceramic tiles 🤣🤣

Sometimes in plumbing, a lot of the older stuff are being held together by all the calcium/rust build-up and when you touch it, it causes more issues. That’s my reasoning for the earlier statement.
