Since changing my toilet tank filling device from the old floating ball to the newer type with the float on a vertical shaft, I have a water hammer problem. Can I put a hammer arrestor somewhere between the wall mounted water outlet and the toilet tank.

Yes, that is exactly what the mini rester is designed for. It is how I it installed. I unscrewed the tank line at the wall valve and screwed the mini rester onto the value output and then the line attached to the mini rester. The copper portion of the mini rester can be oriented vertically or horizontally (mine is horizontal)

Hi, Is the hole where the flush handle goes in your tank round? The dual flush kit is for round. It has a funnel-shaped projection that passes through the tank wall & snugs down with a nut (plastic). A "Cable Box" then attaches to the flush handle shaft but the manufacturer may have a work-around or ordering option online at http://www.water-saver.org or you may want to email questions to support@water-saver.org Hope that is helpful :)

I had that same concern. These water hammer arrestors are actually not heavy. In addition, if your water fill hoses do not have a 90 degree fitting on the end attached to the washer, installing the arrestors allows the water fill hoses to hang straight down, reducing stress on the plastic inlet fitting of the washing machine.

It actually attaches to the bottom of the tank. That inlet is standard for toilets, the 7/8ths.So, a T-valve goes there, connect the tank to the water supply with the plumbing you originally had. And there's an extra outlet for the hand-held bidet hose.I hope that makes sense? It doesn't matter if you have 3/8 or 1/2 since you are keeping that plumbing anyway... It connects to the bottom of the tank, not at the water supplySorry if I'm not clear... I don't have the plumbing lingo :)

Without even checking there are two watchouts... the flush buttons are on the top (I personally would be frustrated every time I would have to negotiate my fingers to flush the toilet in such a tight gap and #2 you really should have easy access to the toilet basin in case you need to access a leak or malfunctioning flush mechanism...and if you are positioning this under a shelf, unless it is resting on pins, will impede your ability to lift the lid on that tank. It is a great toilet and does exactly what it says about the power of the flush and the cost savings. I am looking to replace my other two toilets with the very same unit based on its quality.

We really love this shower hardware from Hansgrohe. We installed this as a DYI project and it went very well. One of the reasons we chose this version was for ease of installation. The mixer and valves are outside of the wall incorporated in the handles. There are no mixer valves behind the wall. In order to install a tub outlet spigot, you would need to put an additional water feed, diverter and mixer behind the wall. Hope this helps.

If any solid thing is vacuumed (like small stones, mud, algae, etc.) the flow will be stopped and the ball inside the siphon could be blocked. It's not the right tool to do something of similar.

I removed the flow restrictor before I installed it. I think it was inside the part that attaches to the water pipe coming out of the wall. Been a while.... Handheld is not improved by this but main head is pretty nice. Love my deluge!

The water tank has not water in it but has a pressure mechanism in it that it creates a powerful flush like at some public restrooms. Also the toilet will not block up due to the power of the flush. Thank you for contacting me and you will enjoy your new toilet. Michael

I'm confused by your question. You need to hook the device to a faucet or similar water connection with pressure. You can put the output water in any container you wish. If you don't want the container to overflow you'll need some sort of shut off system like a float or similar device

This unit requires a plumber and opening up the wall around it. This unit would be best for new construction unless you had to replace the complete valve. The wall plate that comes with won't fit our standardized control unit.

The toilet I used it on, was Crane. I would say if it is face mounted lever, like on the front of the tank, and not a strong curve to the tank, it should be fine. It's pretty generic. If the tank has a lot of curve or the handle is side mount, then it might give you pause. Good luck.

I put the backflow preventer on faucets that had them already on but had failed ( water back in my face every time I used them. The original manufacturer had crimped the device (made it out of round) so I needed two pipe wrenches to get them off. there was no other choice since the original outside spigot incorporated the fine threaded backflow preventer as one unit.

The most common Hammer Arrestors used with washing machines typically have 3/4" Garden Hose Thread (GHT) fittings which connect from the house water supply valves to the washing machine. This Banjo fitting works with 3/4" National Pipe Thread (NPT) fittings. This would not be compatible and to force it would definitely cause damage to the weaker material. Being that the Banjo fitting is made of composite material and the Hammer arrestor is usually metal, you may not notice the damage occurring as the brass cuts the composite. If you really need to get it on there, one of these adapters should work: http://www.amazon.com/MettleAir-196-E-1-Coupler-Adapter-Connector/dp/B00S84L71G/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1426657643&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=3%2F4%22+GHT+female+to+3%2F4%22+NPT+male http://www.amazon.com/Dixon-504-1212-Fitting-Adapter-Female/dp/B007D5KFOG/ref=pd_sim_indust_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0KKNC9S4HFB37M2G2YZG Dixon 504-1212 Brass Fitting, Adapter, GHT Female Swivel x 3/4" NPTF Male

I see no reason why it would be an issue for septic tanks. It is only magnets and simply balances the minerals out so they don't deposit on your toilet.

The fill valve usually has a float the governs the water level. You do not need to replace it, but for my toilet I had to set it to the max level for this to function correctly.

Hi Tina, I have been using this since September 2013. It has a float switch under the black cover that works exactly like the float in your toilet tank. The float is adjusted with a plastic wing nut to regulate the water level in the bowl. I have two golden retrievers and have it set to stop 1/2 inch from the top. I bought a Y connector so I could attach a second hose to water my garden without detaching the dog bowl. I cut a short length of hose and bought a plastic end to attach to the bowl. This gave me a metal end to attach to the metal faucet and a plastic end to attach to the plastic fitting on the bowl. I used plumbers tape on both ends and leave the water turned on very low pressure 24/7. I bought a second one as a gift for a friend who doggie sat my dogs. This self filling bowl is great. Buz
