I notice problems with Kohler toilets. I notice improvements with American Standard toilets. My observations can help you.

This year I have constantly recommended the American Standard Cadet 3. It usually sells for about $128.00 at Home Depot. I noticed this toilet costs more at Amazon. I think Home Depot charges $75.00 for delivery. If you figure free shipping...

Defective Drinking Fountains in Hospital ER Update The good news: Oct. 24, I noticed both fountains turned off and two big “Out of Order” signs. November 12, I noticed both drinking fountains working perfectly. The bad news: It seems to have taken more than two months to get people to focus on this danger. It took a few additional weeks to get the fountains fixed and I still don’t know if all the drinking fountains in this hospital work properly. My more than forty two years of plumbing experience and writing books has made me realize...

This is the actual letter Mike hand carried to a hospital administrator’s office 8-04-2014.

read moreGarbage Disposal
Clogged garbage disposal (disposer)? First we must determine if it is really a clogged garbage disposal or a clogged drain pipe. Customers often assume they have a clogged garbage disposer when the drain pipe is clogged(stopped up). Most of the time if the garbage disposal spins, it is not clogged.
