Main water turned off. all fausts opened in house. trying to replace an outside hose pipe. can not stop dripping water to sauter new faust.

It isn't recommended to replace a heating element. It isn't cost efficient and could be dangerous.

Is the hot water Faust turned on also the filter in the end of the hose connected to the hot water may be plugged with lime or sediment

This is an old machine. It comes with all the adaptors to hook the 1/4" water line to the faucet. You need to remove the arator from the faucet to hook it up and use the adaptors to match your faucet.

angelspapa20,

If there's no power at all to the receiver, then we can definitely check into it further. Try a different outlet if available to make sure it's not the outlet having an issue.

If the problem persists, the receiver will need to be replaced. You can contact our main line, or email me directly at [email protected] to get that taken care of!

Hey andrewsgmc,

The Power Supplies in our receivers are unable to be replaced. We would have to send out a replacement receiver to get this taken care of. You can reach me at [email protected] if you would like any assistance with this!

Next time turn the water off at the water meter,if possible. One trick to stop the water flow is to take a slice of bread ,and jam it into the pipe,and do your solder job the bread will disintegrate after a short time.

Clogged drain condensation drain pipe. They use to recommend white vinegar for cleaning, but they now say even it can damage lines for being to strong. The sell a product Zest at home depot, it's like orange and environmentally safe made with oranges or something.

Anyways use that stuff.
I would first check the outside pipe for an obvious blockage like grass, dirt or dead animal. Then right by your indoor unit will be the start of the same pipe, if the leaking is there, then that's it, if it's somewhere else could be in the unit which you will need a repair man, nothing easy inside the main unit except lots of shocking things.

Open the pipe inside and try pooring some cleaner in , wait a bit then turn back on and see. If it's a bad clog, what I did was to take a long hose, run it in the house to the pipe. I put folds in the hose to do it alone, or have someone outside to yell to turn it on. Put the hose against the pipe inside flush as possible and that should force almost anything out. Be sure to have a couple towels ready cause it's nearly impossible to not spill some water doing it this way.

I assume it is dripping water when the AC is running. If you look at the attic unit, there should be a PVC pipe running from the unit - probably an insulated PVC pipe. This pipe probably goes across the attic to the edge of the house and drains outside. The drain pan may also have a drain pipe, but the one on the AC unit is the issue, and is probably plugged. Go outside and see if you can locate the AC drain pipe. See if the ground is wet below the pipe and if water is steadily dripping from the pipe (with AC running). If the pipe and ground are dry, the pipe is plugged. If you have a wet/dry vac, try connecting it to the drain pipe outside to see if you can **** the pluggage out. If you can get it clear, water should start dripping out of the pipe. This same thing happened at our house. I decided to cut the pipe in the attic, and add in a PVC isolation valve, tee, and water hose connection with plug, so I can valve out the AC unit from the pipe, remove hose connection plug, and hook up a water hose and flush the line to outside. Lowe's sells all of the PVC pipe fittings. The water pressure from the hose will always flush out the algae and crud to the outside of the house. I can also remove the plug and pour a cup of bleach down the drain pipe every couple of months to keep algae growth in check. I also cut out the trap (u-leg) from pipe in the attic and purchased a ready made trap a Lowes (the contractor who built our house had made a lousy homemade trap). I purchased a few PVC elbows and installed the trap on the drain pipe outside. By the way, our AC drain pipe comes out of our wall outside and drains near our outside unit. Our secondary drain pan drain pipe comes out outside from an eave on the side of the house. I don't know what you drain line looks like (it may have a port to add bleach, or some cleanout provisions, maybe not). If you choose to modify/improve it, then make a sketch of it, go to Lowe's and get the PVC parts you need + PVC pipe primer and cement. PVC cement dries fast. Remember, the pipe must flow downhill from you AC attic unit. You can use a regular wood saw to cut the pipe. I hope this helps you. You need to keep the drain line clear as algae will continue to grow in it. Pouring bleach in the line every month or two helps. You also need to check maybe once a month that the line is draining properly (check to see if dripping outside). You can get some serious water damage to your ceilings if the water backs up and overflows. I discovered that our drain line was plugged just in time as our drain pan drain line was also partially plugged and drain pan was about to overflow.

Those valves are usualy cheap and just wear out. It will most likely need to be replaced, but first you can simply try turning it on slightly tighter then it is. Those valves usually only seal when turned all the way on or off, not somewhere in between. If this does not work however it will need to be replaced.

If the valve is threaded on to the main pipe then this will be fairly easy, as all you would need to do is turn off the main house water, open the sink faucet to release the pressure, disconect the faucet line going to the leaky valve using a wrench. Once this is done you would unscrew the leaky valve from the supply pipe and replace with a new one. Don't forget to use teflon tape on the threads of the supply pipe before replacing with a new valve. If it is a soldered valve however this would require a bit more work and expertise.

insulate pipe with rubertex from a/c supply house or hardware
