Looks clean! You know what I was thinking, you should have put in a valve to flush the filters instead of having to use a Faucet to relieve the pressure or to flush. Bad ass broham👍
The only way I find to not get boogers is to not overflux and be really fast with with the solder swipes bu vertical joints just be that way clean install as always dude.
those canisters might get stuck when trying to replace the filters (the black plastic wrenches typically break) - use a heat gun on low to blow all around the top threads for about five minutes and they will unscrew easily
Use a 45 & an ell next time to make a turn. Promotes better flow than two 90s. Solder your fittings upside down before the final downward soldering. Gravity is your friend when soldering + your joints will look MUCH more professional. Overall a good job. Kudos.
use a lead pencil to draw a line around the ftg, they say it will prevent the solder from dripping, I never tried it...I was a B-tank (acetylene ) and presto regulator and tip solderer? BITD of 50 / 50 solder, a real "ARTISAN"...I still use 50 / 50 in places where I need to keep the temp lower (TECH TIP)
it works well also to cap any questionable solder joints, it has its applications for sure ( worried about the lead content? there's valves that have more) @@pershingplumbing9007
No the pumice stone is designed for porcelain. It's good stuff. I knicked a tile once with a grinder wheel and the pumice took put all of the black and couldn't even tell up close there was a small knick
@davidbrinkmeyer5850 Did you not see the water pressure when he was testing the bypass, more than enough water flow. Probably could have used a water REG.
Nuvos do not give true soft water. I wish they did but folks are so much better off to buy a little softener from Home Depot. And yes, I know this is California. Water Softeners are a bad thing there…
You could install it in a garage but not I'm a house. No, you tee off the main to supply the water to the filters. Just picture the main runs through the filters
