    I have had a problem with septic tank motors repeatedly failing after about a year. I discover it when the alarm sounds continuously or it somehow bypasses the control box fuse and trips the breaker. Every one has seized up, and I didn't know why, until today. This one, a Flagg-Air 340HT-N...

The aerator tube (I have seen it called an "air gap fill injector tube") is located in the fill line about 9 inches before the...

    A few weeks ago I noticed we were quickly losing water pressure at our kitchen sink. I pulled the original aerator and it was all clogged up with a turquoise colored sediment. I picked up a new aerator and all was well for a couple days. When I pulled that it too was clogged already! Today I...
