Ok, I'm really at a loss here. Beginning of this week, luke warm water. Bad element. Replace both elements. Cranking hot water for one day. Kinda hot water the next night. Tonight: Luke warm again. Thermostat issues now? I haven't been out to look because its snowing to beat hell, I think I'll wait ...

Upper element was JUNK. Damn near bent in half. Swelled up. Element was split. Broke away on one side back at the fitting. Can't believe its worked this long. And for the horsing it took to get it out.... this heater is a '79, and I'd wager it was original. The bottom had been replaced. Who replaces...

As power was out here for an extended period of time following our lovely ice storm, before I abandoned the house for warmer settings I did my best to limit the damage. Drained the pipes, got the antifreeze in the traps, buttoned the place up as best I could. That was Friday night. Saturday I came b...

Undid the fitting at the last T by the bathroom and the other end under the sink. Put the air to it, nothing, won't flow. Crawled under the front of the trailer, disconnecte...

Ok, but you bring up a good point. It does't change the pressure, only the volume. Then why is it different to start with? The main lines feeding the plumbing are 3/4". That T's into 1/2" for the majority of the plumbing, except where it runs from 1/2" to 1/4" for the toilet, 1/2...

Well I already replaced most of it with the Pex, so its either in the copper that's left (I knew I should have yarded it ALL out!) or I may have put a kink in that PEX. Drat. Have to unhook the cold line and haul it out and see what's what. If I've learned nothing else from living in this place, its...

Ok, been in this mobile home for about four months, plumbing was a disaster when I moved in but now I'm only chasing small problems. But this one is persistent. When I finally got the water hooked up to the kitchen faucet, the hot water worked but the cold one didn't. Fine, had a similar problem in ...
