Sink Odors:
Sink odors occur from build up of food debris inside you garbage
disposal. They also occur due to build up of hair and other
debris in your sink traps. To eliminate these odors, place
ice cubes and lemon peels in the
disposal
and
let it
run for
about
30
seconds,
then rinse it with cold water for about 20 seconds.
No Hot Water:
First check to insure that the gas is turned on to the water heater. If the
gas valve is on and the gas is on to the house, check to see if the pilot
light
is lit. If the pilot light is lit, refer to the operating manual for instructions
on lighting the pilot light. If the pilot light is lit and the water heater
is still not heating it is safest to contact
us (your local, licensed, plumber)
to check further.
Disposal Tips:
Do's:
1. Grind food waste with moderate flow of cold water.
2. Grind small amounts of peelings from citrus fruits (1/4 of an orange) to freshen
up your drain.
3. Flush your disposal to allow for cleaning by allowing the disposal and cold
water to run after grinding or dumping dishwater.
4. Use a disposal cleaner or degreaser or deodorizer as needed.
Don'ts:
1. Do not use hot water when grinding food waste. It is ok to drain hot water
between grinding periods
2. Do not turn off the disposal or the water until grinding is completed.
3. Do not grind fibrous materials like cornhusks, artichokes, onionskins, celery,
etc. to avoid possible drain blockage.
4. Never overload the grinding chamber as this can overload the motor and cause
it to stop.
Noisy Gas Water Heater:
The popping sound is caused by a mineral build up on the bottom
of the water heater that traps water between the tank and the
mineral. When the water is being heated it turns this trapped
water into steam. The steam then escapes or explodes through
the mineral causing the popping sound.
Air Gap on top of your Sink "Spits":
This is probably due to something restricting the drainage line.
Make sure the line from the air gap is not kinked and that
nothing is partially blocking it where it connects to the drain.
Bathroom faucet drips:
Could be a loose washer The pressure holds it down when no other faucet is running
water and the lower pressure let's it rise up a bit when other water is used.
