I'm thinking so. Water Heater guy is coming out today to check it out. One of my rooms got water in it. The carpet was just the thin squares that the previous owner laid down and it wasn't a room we used. I'm only worried about the wood. The county I live in has very high water pressure so I had the expansion tank and new water heater installed last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 So it ended up being my AC that was causing all the issues. The Water Heater is fine. They fixed everything for $45 and now I have a claims rep coming to my house soon to survey the damage to the room. Once they figure that out I just have to pay my deductible ($1000) and they'll have someone come replace the wood, carpet, clothes, and shelves that were on the floor.

VikeManDan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 To our resident plumbers.... I'm going to be replacing my rented water softener (WS) and purchase my own. I've found that the water hardness in my area is 24 grains per gallon. There are 2 people in my house. I figure that the household uses 150 gallons per day. 24 grains per gallon x 150 gallons per day means the WS needs to remove 3600 grains per day or 25,200 grains per week. At a minimum I'm thinking of purchasing a >30k grain WS. Is there such thing as to much WS? My question is am I overlooking or forgetting anything? I obviously want to make sure I am getting and installing an efficient WS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Also, if anyone is in the market for a new lawnmower I highly recommend checking out the EGO line at Home Depot. I bought one and love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
