    A little late. But you can get so much more out of your shower by easily removing the Red ring Temperature Limiter Safety with needle nose pliers from the ceramic cartridge. Without it you can get the max heat and blend of the two temps.. Again its a safety ring for the hot water. Know the risks. I love a hot shower.

    I installed my Home Depot Pegasus (Glacier Bay) shower valve seven years ago and it worked fine. A couple years ago I heard some pipe knocking under the shower so I opened the ceiling downstairs to get to the pipes and verified the noise was coming from the water supply lines going to the shower valve. Any faucet, toilet, dishwasher, and washing machine cycle caused the noise in the shower lines. I replaced the back portion of the cartridge and the noise got better but over time the pipe thumping came back. I even put water hammer arresters on the toilets and washing machine lines. No help. I was ready to put a big hole in the tile to replace the entire mixer valve and then I watched this video and it gave me the solution. The plunger in both cut off valves were calcified and stuck all the way in. I cleaned both plungers and the problem was finally solved. Thank you.

    i searched all over with issues that i had after using the two stop valves to isolate the shower valve so i could replace the cartridge . Finally discovered your post . Followed it to the letter and had success beyond expectations. one of the plungers was frozen solid and required an Aero Kroil intervention. The 50/50 vinegar DI water trick worked great . Thank You !!!! Your comment about dropping the valves into the abyss did keep me focused . Thanks again...

    Those search bits are risky especially if there’s a bathroom above you. Drilling blind can hit water electric hvac or even flex gas lines. Sometimes it’s easier to take a chalk line and cut out a two ft wide trench and take the drywall out all together. Those lights are also obsolete. Those connectors are dangerous as well easiest is not always safest.

    Folks let a professional certified pool and spa operator do this work. The reason this "man" didn't notice the pitfalls until after the work was done, was because he didn't put sand in before laying the mastic down. By putting sand down you will see the pitfalls and seal them appropriately prior to applying the mastic.

    • @EkalbGnilrad
      @EkalbGnilrad Před rokem

      I don't recall anything resembling wheel locks coming off my old fork. The spindle assembly has spring-loaded washers that are captured by the wheel nuts and the washers have a small tang that keeps the nuts from backing out. If these are what you are referring to, they fit perfectly into the new axle slot on the suspension fork.

    • @EkalbGnilrad
      @EkalbGnilrad Před rokem

      Good eye there! Two unfortunate realities exist here: 1) the pool isn't lifting, it's actually settling on the shallow end and the deck is drifting down the slope behind the pool and 2) when I drained the pool last summer, I couldn't find any hydrostatic valves anywhere in the shell. Not in the main drain compartment and not in the floor of the pool...they may have been surfaced over when the plaster was replaced years ago. At any rate, I'm pretty far up on a hill, so I suspect the water table is 80-100 feet below my pool.

    • @EkalbGnilrad
      @EkalbGnilrad Před rokem

      The hydraulic brakes are far stronger and more articulate than the original mechanical brakes. Swapping the mechanical pads out to ceramic was a big improvement, but nothing compares to the lever feel and strength of the hydraulic system. Whether this improvement is worth the $230+ cost is up to each individual and their budget, but I would do this swap again.

    Fastest descaling solution, blows table vinegar away: Buy Sulphamic Acid chrystals at Home Depot or Lowes, it comes in a very small bucket. Dump them in a gallon of water and mix up. They dissolve slow. Not all chrystals will dissolve but that's OK, solution is now as strong as possible. Next, Drop parts to be descaled into solution. There will be an extremely fast dissolving of calcium, I mean it will literally be bubbling! In 3 minutes it will likely be done, it's that fast.
