Hi, everyone! I'm a new homeowner and this is my first time on the forum so please forgive any and all stupid questions. Recently my wife and I have noticed this tick/almost hollow burping sound after showering. We also routinely notice the click/click/click/click of what sounds like the pipes...

I would appreciate any ideas from the forum. We recently purchased an older home and the house has excellent water pressure, however the shower is a trickle. It has a Delta 1400 fixture. I replaced the cartridge, but that did not help. The original cartridge and the valve body both looked very...

Hello, I had a shower in a previous residence that my wife and I both loved. Now that we moved out however, we can't find anything on the internet or in stores to rebuild this assembly. All I have is this photo. This shower had a standard shower head pipe coming from the wall, then a...

I’m replacing my faulty old mains fed electric shower (Mira Sport Max 10.8kW) and am considering going for a pumped, gravity fed electric shower (such as the Mira Elite SE Dual Pumped Electric Shower 9.8kW). The mains pressure sometimes drops enough for the low-flow cut-out to operate or the...

Hi all, I'm remodeling the shower plumbing for SWMBO. She does not want tile work (or stone) or any changes to the bath / shower side. Tearing out the wall opposite the valve side is fine. I saw a very cool looking valve / trim that seems to meet all the needs. I'm looking into a 3-outlet...

I have installed 2 brand new shower heads on the same shower and both leaked, which leads me to believe something else is going on. It leaks out of the the shower head holes, not any connections. Any suggestions on what might be the problem? I just recently installed a new Delta 1400...

How do you remove this cartridge? I am looking for a nut or a pin and I am having no such looking trying to remove this. Maybe this one has a special trick to release it? I am thinking about replacing this to see if the leak will stop. Any other suggestions?

Hello, I recently was asked to help an elderly friend install handrails in their bathroom. I ran into a problem with the last rail in the standing tile shower, see pictures. I found what I thought was a stud running up the wall and found metal behind the tile that I had trouble drilling...

Hi My daughter has a Grohe mixer shower (see photos) and however I try to mix it to warm / hot it only just manages slightly warm or cold. I don't know how old it is as it was already fitted when they moved in. Can anyone suggest what might be the problem. Other showers are fine so I think...

So, I have a shower that was done by the old homeowner and the drain doesn’t look like it’s done correctly. We notice water damage occurring on our laminate floor in our dining room which is located on the other side of the wall of the shower/bathroom. We also noticed a bit of moisture when we...

Hi everyone, I’m putting together some shower lines with Sharkbite PEXb, and I keep finding mixed messages on bends. The bend in the attached photo runs from the valve to the wand drop ear. It’s wider than the 90° bend support (shown in the photo), but I’m curious on others thoughts. Would this...

A friend had a new shower fitted along with a pump but they find it too powerful for them as the person that uses it is in his 80's and it actually hurts him what with his skin being very thin. Its a Aqualisa ipx4 and I wondered if anyone can tell me if the flow rate could be reduced?

We are selling our home and need to install the trim for our shower. I called and sought local help, no one seems to know. We renovated the shower a year ago but didn't keep the trim or think to replace the value. I don't want to have to remove and replace the tile. Does anyone have any idea...

I've read what I could about this topic and have made a number of changes but still have the problem. I am renovating a house and one of the showers I ran 1/2" PEX from the valve to the shower head. When I turned on the tub faucet it would drip quite a lot from the shower head. I never...

Greetings. We’re looking to install a glass shower enclosure in a corner in a guest bath in a California. The existing space we have to work with is ‘very’ tight in all directions (see attached plan). When I Google the minimum allowed size, most of the home improvement websites cite 30” x 30”...
