@@hemantmodi5239 from what I can see on the website it appears to be a clack valve. Don’t be fooled by these companies claiming to have something special. Typically it’s a relabeled unit brida doesn’t manufacturer their own unit it’s just relabeled. If price is reasonable and it’s available in your area it is going to serve you well. If you are purchasing a carbon filter Make sure you get the correct carbon for the water you have. Mono chlorine and chlorine are not the same. You can request from your water provider a detail of the water quality to know what is in your water

Not necessary because you aren’t draining the water in this scenario the connections are at the top so water cannot escape from the heater. If you’d dealing with a different set up you may want to do so. Be aware sometimes when you shut down a gas to the control valve it may not relight. We do recommend if you are intimidated call a professional

@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX thanks… All I’m trying to do is Tee off of the supply line and run about 18 feet of pipe to feed my pressure washer…. thanks

The quality difference really is incomparable. I hope you are able to find what you are looking for.

Awesome glad that worked for you.

Swap the hoses at the valves it’s the easiest. The machine has plastic threads more likely to cross thread. It’s not uncommon for the hot and cold to be reversed. If the machine was hooked up correctly at least it’s a relatively easy fix. Good luck

Awesome

I am not a fan of those. The reason is mixing media isn’t a great idea it’s not efficient. You are better off either utilizing a carbon filter canister style. Or utilizing a second carbon stand alone that has a head to back flush.

Turn off water to the home. Drain at hose bib outside or inside. I always use a small bucket to catch any water at the connection.

@@cj4freedom856 thanks

In his scenario the connections are at the top so gravity will keep the water in the tank. No you dont need to drain the tank unless your connections are on the side of the water heater where water would be allowed to drain out when disconnected

@@BlueMonster-co7ib thank you sir!!

Not 100% sure what you are asking. How to keep knobs from freezing? Can you describe some more detail plz?

@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX the water shut off valves were hard to turn off. They aren’t used frequently so they were almost frozen in place from hard water.

@@user-lt1rq6nt7w here is a tip never turn the valves to 100% open. When you get to the point of 100% and you feel the valve won’t turn any further turn the handle back clockwise half a turn. This will prevent the valve from scaling open and becoming impossible to turn in the future

Happy to help

Yes that’s true heat can loose it. These days with thin plastics. I am not making a video of that. Have everyone mad at me for burning the house down.

You are good daughters. Glad it helped

This is when it’s seized on and won’t unscrew. If you don’t know how to unscrew a hose I don’t think UA-cam can help you

Hello you’re welcome. The reason for the shut off valve on the cold is to service the heater and to isolate the hot water in case of needed service. Here in the USA it’s a requirement and standard practice.

Great thanks for the info very helpful video I really appreciated. God bless

Good luck with your search.

You’re a bum

If PROPERLY (and that’s the key)installed probably still ok. It’s poor installation that’s gonna cause problems in most installations. Not following the proper steps. However I stand on sharkbite is not a viable option for permanent solutions.

@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX thanks for your response! I’ve used shark bite in some minor applications and it has held up. I do agree with you as I don’t love it as a permanent solution. For a novice like me it has helped.

Thank you glad to be of service

If its not deep the seal is on the front flat surface where the hose gasket seats. If that isnt severally damaged likely it will be ok.

Happy to help

Not a fan of Hague systems. But I have seen them making soft water for years. Due to their antique design the flow rate is not great through their systems. They are more complicated to repair. I would not say a terrible choice better than some.

Yes that is correct you do not need to drain the tank as long as the connection is at the top. You will still lose some water so have a rag and a small container ready. Best of luck

@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX Thank you,

@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX Yes, both of the lines are on the top. Will it work for the hot line too? Thanks.

@@bobhong2175 yes but you don’t have to install one with a valve. They make them in just supply line no valve

Just happy to help

Maybe we should hire a professional crew for these FREE videos that are designed for the DIY crowd.

A dremel or side cutting tool is a much faster way. It’s just a little easier to cut too much. If you choose to to use one just take your time. Good for you got it done.

Thank you

You know like i said in the video if you have a small home and you are installing yourself it makes soft water its just a disposable unit. Its not the worst idea just making a decision based on good information. Hope your project goes well

Glad your happy with your product. However a little research would reveal kinetico is hands down one of the poorest built over priced under engineered softeners on the planet. The theory is great but the actual product leaves a lot to be desired. A proprietary product is one where the purchaser has only one option for service and repair. In my professional opinion I am not of fan of that either.

Thanks for the comment. Thats why it was sanded and de-burred. Sanding is acceptable for smoothing the copper to not damage the oring. Its also a very temporary fix not intended for long term. A true professional would not leave a sharkbite connection as a permanent repair.

Very nice. Glad it helped

My delivery guys refused to even try. Against policy 🤷🏼‍♀️which I understand. I don’t have a saw like this. I have a jigsaw 🤔. But I’m not good with it. I spent $16@ ace for this spray that hadn’t worked so far. Thank you for the video & tips!!

You are welcome

I believe there is a oring on that it may have been compromised. Unscrew it put some vegetable oil on it put it back In. If that doesn’t stop the leaking maybe another chlorine cartridge

vaseline works if you put it liberally on the o-ring AND the housing.

What kind of update are you looking for?

Thanks for the comment. Yeah this was a video showing how to replace the hose bib. Vacuum breakers are not code everywhere nor are they required on every application. I have to agree should have one.

Glad you were able to do it yourself.

Those stinking hoses. Glad you got em

Mission accomplished

Nice job.

The clack valve is my favorite. Most reliable on the market. Look for that brand when making your decision. In order to know proper sizing the hardness and the pipe size of loop is needed. Most plumbing supply wholesalers will have a good softener available.

Nice. Mission accomplished

Thanks for pointing that out. I did actually say to reverse the process. The inlet filters are a good idea to check as well. At the time of This video the heat exchangers were not a known issue. This video is simply how to descale. Have a great day.

Awesome. Glad to hear it.

Very good info. That’s true it does. We use a standard debuting tool so I forget that tool has that capability. Good I for for the DIY homeowner

Not seeing your situation makes it hard to answer 100%. As long as it’s not a flammable or material that will melt that won’t hurt. However If we are talking about a water line it can cause corrosion over time. It only needs a 1” separation if it’s the water from the vent pipe. Hope that helps

Anyone can buy a softener. They are available either online or at a local plumbing supply. Just be sure you get a clack manufacturer. They are sold under different brands. Locally in this area Gemini is a brand sold at Morrison plumbing supply.

Check with your local city about the code for installing a system yourself

@@onenikkione Bla bla bla

@@onenikkione good point. In the state of texas a homeowner can install almost anything in their home as long as it is their homestead. They can pull permits as well.
