James asked:


My hot water heating system boiler pressure is too low and I am pretty sure that the problem is not enough water in the system to maintain pressure (and hence heat) to the second floor of my house.

Yes, I have done the usual bleeding of radiators and even drained the expansion tank. [Do you think I should do these again?]

It seems that this system is set up to automatically fill but clearly the pressure is too low for a two story job and obviously there is some method to adding water.

There are what appears to be two ways to direct water to the boiler/system but both feed from the cold water supply to the house. One is by way of a shut off valve to a reducing valve to the boiler and the other is by way of a shut off valve to a [???? with numbers (1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, etc.) on it] and then to the boiler. Both shut off valves are open so this is why I figure the system is auto-filled.

So there it is. I just can’t figure this out. Your help would be appreciated.

It seems that plumbing in my house has a problem with water hammer. First, I thought it only occurs when toilet tanks are filling back with water, but I realized that it happens whenever water is used anywhere in home. It just that water hammer is not as bad when I use faucets. So I’ve been trying to figure out where or source of this water hammer. By listening to where the sound is coming from, and by touching the water pipe with my finger tips, I learned that sound is loudest where the main water pipe comes in through the concrete wall. I guess I can install a water hammer arrestor. But I am trying to understand why water hammer is occuring. Here is my guess. Please let me know what you think. There is a branch near this point where pipe leads out to the faucet outside the house. While water tries to flow further into the house, perhaps vacumm is being created in this branch pipe and causing water hammer. Is this possible? What do you think? Thanks!
1. Noise comes from pipes near water main, not the toilets. noise just louder with toilets, reduced intake valve and reduced noise
2. With my fingertips, I can feel the pipe vibrating.
3. Perhaps water traveling to water softner and bouncing back?
4. Checked diaphram valve on toilet, it looked fine.

I guess I’ll just install couple water arrestors and see what happens…

I have an older home, and were we are its extremely cold. I have water running in the kitchen sink, tub and bathroom sink, I always thought you would just run cold water? Then i heard some guy say hot water? does it matter? Also the kitchen, bathroom are on the south side of the house, so i didnt know if i need water running at all faucets, i have small water running, I also have the cupboards open where the pipe runs to the kitchen to help air flow? my main concern was does the temperature of the water matter? i noticed i have no hot water in the bathroom sink, but i have cold water, i have hot water in the tub, so not sure whats going on there?
i forgot to say, i have no basement

We derive underground water in our village for daily uses, which does not receive any kind of treatment. The problem is that the pipes and taps all get ruined very fast because of that.how do i prevent that? Is it a result of hard water or lass salinity. Do i need to get any specific tests?
Will adding washing soda decrease the menace, and if i do add it, what needs to be done to render the water drinkable?
Will any other step be required, the resources are less being in an Indian vilage?

We have just purchased a home with a salt water softener. The water is all foamy and cloudy when it comes out of the faucet and there is no bypass – ALL the water in the house runs through it. There are 4 of us and 3 pets. Is it healthy/safe to drink softened water or should we get a water cooler for drinking and cooking?

Take a perfect vacuum with 2 compartments. The 2 compartments are separated/connected by a compressor.
The 2nd compartment has a pipe running through it with a fluid at temperature t.
Now, lets take x amount of (pure) water at temp t (note that it is at same temp as fluid in 2nd compartment).
Can one create from the x amount of water, (x-z) of water at temp (t+y) in the 2nd compartment, by passing the former x amount of water through the 1st compartment?
As the water pass through the 1st compartment, some of the water should evaporate in the 1st compartment, resulting in some pressure in the 1st compartment. If the compressor is used to pump some of the vapour from the 1st compartment into the 2nd compartment to a pressure higher than that in the 1st compartment, then wouldn’t some of the vapour condense against the pipe, causing the fluid (and thus the water forming through condensation) to heat up to a temp higher than the temp of the water passed through the 1st compartment?

My house is not too too old, but not new. When I move it, i was nine, the owner son just graduate from university. The owner build the house. So that’s about how old is the house.
Everytime I take a shower, it’s like a race, I have to do it as fast as possible before the hot water runs out. A handy man had come over, and he said and switch the temperature of the hot water hotter (he did it at the hot water production machine located at the laundry room), that’s all he can do. But switching the hot water temperature hotter doesn’t help make hot water last longer.
I thought it was just me taking shower too long, but I ask my friend, and she said she took very long and hot water still did not run out.

How to make hot water don’t run out so quickly? Especially in winter, it runs out more quickly.
It’s our house, we brought it, when I was 9, now i am about 30 >

I lost my job, changing water tank doesn't seems possible.
well, I think the heat, water system, etc is technology of the 70s.
You are all welcome to view my other questions (about home and other topics), I'll be glad to get more help. Thank you in advance ^^!

Hello! I may have a problem with water hammer or pockets of air or whatever in my plumbing system. In order to troubleshoot, I want to drain the water from the pipes for the whole house and then refill it. What should I do with the water in water heater and water softner? Do I drain the water heater and water softner? Just turn power off on my Kenmore water softner? or use bypass valve? Thanks for your time!

I have a hot water tank in my house which is fed by a cold water tank situated in the loft (not mains). I want to convert the loft space into a proper room and therefore want to get rid of the cold water tank. Is there a reason why the cold water tank feeds into the hot water cylinder, and if so what is it? Can I not have hot water cylinder fed by mains water?

W K asked:


I noticed at the laundrymat that the water does not appear at the bottom of the window, it only rises just below – presumably filling a basin below that the perforated washer chamber / cylnder spins thru. I know that they’ve had a problem with patrons putting in too much soap and causing an overflow. I’m wondering if they are reducing the water level in the washer to combat that problem (and cut down on their costs for water and hot water – very cheap place)?

I used the laundrymat today and my clothes seem to be clean and free of soap (the rinse cycle is the same “low water” situation); so maybe the washer is not designed to have water at the height of the door?
