It's a speakman showerhead - the noise is hard to describe, like the faucet is much more strained. I can measure, the flow, but I can stand there, screw in the hose and unscrew and watch it change dramatically. How exactly do you drill out the flow limiter? Is that just the plastic part on the hose?

I didn't do anything except replace it. Last night I removed the hose that connects the j-pipe to the shower head while the tub was on and it went back to normal, screwed the hose back on and it made an odd noise and flow was cut back. Not to a trickle, but it is reduced and it makes a pretty...

That's what I thought too but wasn't sure - so if the tub is slow as well, then there is something else going on, correct?

our old hand held showerhead had cracked and was leaking, so I installed a new one with the same flow rate, but when we turn the water on now the flow is greatly reduced, and the flow out of the faucet into the tub is reduced as well. I didn't think the showerhead could effect the flow rate into...

I wasn't sure if that was an option, but I guess that's the point of the bypass valve, correct? In other words, a1.25 cu foot capacity (resin) will be more than what we need and leave room to grow?

Thanks for the link. So since I have actual usage numbers, should I size this based on averages or based on the rare spikes in usage? It would appear that I would be safe using 3,000 gals month as a starting point, so when the usage would spike at 4k gals would that ust mean i would use more...

So I'm hoping to buy the proper sized softener to use salt efficiently. Hardness is 23 GPG, on city water, 2.5 bathrooms, 2 people in the house and pretty much never have guests. I've attached my actual water usage for the past 3 years below. Average has always been under 3,000 gal. per month...

Okay I'm going to give it a shot this weekend - just one more thing I wanted to add, I saw in itsreallyconc's post a mention of this only being 5 or 6 sq. ft. I think the pictures might be deceiving. The entire "hole" I'll call it, is only 1-3inches high in most spots and maybe 2-2.5 feet...

So how would I go about doing that myself? The feather-edging? Will it match the surrounding texture if I do that?

Don't know what a drywall hopper gun is, and I've never done any concrete work at all, but willing to give it a shot. I definitely would like to match the color and texture if possible, I believe that the stucco mesh covering was painted, and I have the paint - so would it be possible to fill...

So you think just have a small concrete slope the length of the door?

I recently had a patio installed in my back yard and had to get the concrete step down removed to do so. When it was removed the contractors dinged up part of the concrete slab under the door and I need to patch it up. I'm wondering what I should use to fill the gap and also what I need to use...
