The Bathroom Faucet valve on the Hot water suplly line is stuck and needs replaced.
My water heater has a shut off valve on the cold water intake side but not on the hot water going out side.
Would I just shut the cold side off on the heater and run some hot water to stop the flow of hot water thru the house?

How long can my water stay hot in vacuum bottle?

Thoes cheap bottles. Not really good ones. How long do you think my water would stay hot in them? Should i fill it to the very top :O ?

I was filling a jug of water and left the water stream going slowly while i went to do other things when i came back i notice that instead of turning the cold water on i had turn the hot water on. Now is there anything wrong with the water filter? Is it damaged? I’m using a PUR sink mounted water filter. I looked up what would happen if you where to run hot water through and all it said was that it would decrease the effectiveness of the filter. Should I replace the filter?

I live in a penthouse which is on the 23rd floor of a city highrise. The last couple months I’ve noticed the kitchen tap water smelling like rotten eggs. The bathroom sink & shower seem to be fine. The hot & cold water come from the same faucet & both smell, although the hot water smells worse. If i let the water run for a minute the smell seems to go away. Is there anyway i can remove the smell myself or do i have to contact the city water department ?

…but one puts out cold water and the other hot water. I want to know how this works. Is the water in the jug room temperature? What controls the hot and cold temperatures of the water?

This may seem like a dumb question, but I really have no idea how it works. Can anyone inform me?

Here is a picture of the cooler I’m talking about, if I’ve confused you. :)

I’m not interested in buying one, it’s just that my dad’s office used to have one and I could never figure out how it worked.

How To Clean Ice Mountain Water Cooler?




I have had an ice mountain water cooler since about 2001, and it has worked fine. Now im guessing that the inside is dirty or something because now when i push the knob down the water from both the hot water and cold water does not come out as quickly as it should. WHAT TO DO??

I live in Philadelphia Pa. in a 3 story condo. The roof is flat. We have 21 units and the cost of heat and hot water is $ 100,000 per year. Can I preheat the water in a 50 -100 gallon black bladder placed on the roof?

Best WATER FILTER for a shower?




Any opinions on good water filters for showers? I’ve read that most shower filters are a waste of money since the filtration process doesn’t do very well when the water being filtered is warm or hot water…

Another question: I don’t drink tap water (use bottled water) but I obviously take showers in tap water…if there WAS something dangerous in my water, would the harmful effects matter if I’m just showering in it and not drinking it?

Thanks a lot

How to remove musty smell from tap water?




My tap water smells musty, the condo I live in is only a few years old and I’m not quite sure what is causing the odor. I’ve tried a Brita filter, but the smell persists. I do have a hot water supplied heating system, I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I currently have a whole house filter on the cold water line to my washer to help filter rust. Can I also put one on the hot water line on my washer? Or is it bad to put a filter on the hot water line?

How is it that hot water shrinks clothes?




How is hot water different from cold water in terms of clothes shrinking in the wash? What is it about hot water that makes them shrink?

I know hot water goes through the water heater, but how does cold tap water get so cold? Why is it not warm?

I accidently ran hot water thru my sink this morning not realizing the Brita filter was turned on. Is my filter still safe to use? Did I ruin it? It was not extremely hot water, but rather warm/hot water.
