Do you think the auger was really necessary or would vinegar alone have done the job? I'm back and forth about buying an auger, but the soap scum is pretty thick. Also, how did you get those pics of inside your drain? Big fan of the subscribe animation 😊
@wildcat-diy13 күн бұрын
Thank you! 😊 I filmed the close-up drain shots using my iPhone 13 mini. I think using the soak and scrape method with the vinegar alone would have helped to dislodge the clog.. I wish I had thought to try that first!

Cut off old valve and replace with a SharkBite Max 1/2 in. Push-to-Connect x 3/8 in. O.D. Compression Quarter-Turn Angle Stop Valve. 10 minutes to complete.

Did you loop the supply line to create an air seal or was it due to it being long?
@wildcat-diyАй бұрын
I looped the supply line because it was long. I prefer using one that is slightly longer than needed for an easier connection, and I think the loop gives a clean, tidy look ☺

Heads up for LED bulb life: you’ll either want somewhat open/vented fixtures or bulbs rated for enclosed fixtures. Otherwise, the electronics overheat and die way early!

@Anna-e4p4oАй бұрын
What you are saying is completely true. Another reason you disconnect the negative first is while you are loosening the negative cable with a wrench is if your wrench comes in contact with anything metal under the hood nothing will happen because the car has a negative ground. If you decide to disconnect the positive first and your wrench touches anything metal it will cause a direct short to ground and cause a lot of damage.

Feit Electric is a good brand, but I prefer fixtures with replaceable bulbs. The original light fixtures were pretty nice for me, though. Also, I would sell those fluorescent fixtures to make money if I wanted to upgrade my lighting.

@lawtonsegler19233 ай бұрын
Thank you so much! I’ve been dealing with this for years. I thought it was coming from my water heater and every time I’d treated it with bleach the odor went away for a while, but I think that was because I was rinsing the bleach out through my shower and that was temporarily reducing the odor. What a goof! I’m going to HD this afternoon to get some stuff to fix this once and for all.

I agree. Where did you buy the filter? After reaching out to Aquasana customer support, I was informed that this issue with the pre-filter being too short was resolved over a year ago. They also recommended purchasing replacement water filters directly from Aquasana rather than through Amazon, as there may be a risk of receiving backstock. Personally, I’ve always purchased my replacement filters from Aquasana and have not encountered a short filter. I hope this information helps!
@RDM-3464 ай бұрын
@wildcat-diy the first failed one came from aquasana. The second failed one was through walmart. The first could have been older because I wait 8 months or more to replace filters. Too expensive to change every 6 months.
