will put in toilets with the cheapest innards you've ever seen. My
house came with Mansfield toilets. Old style float bulb garbage.
Within a year the fill valve on 2 of them broke, so I decided to
just buy all new innards for all of them, replace the plastic fill
lines with steel braided ones - the works. So I bought the complete
Fluidmaster kits.
The most striking thing about these kits is how absolutely TERRIBLE
the instructions are. I'm a glutton for punishment, and this is FAR
from my first home improvement job. I'm the guy people call to put
things together. I have seen some bad instructions in my day, but
nothing as bad as these. One big sheet, English in the front,
Spanish on the back.
Now the job isn't that hard if you've done it a few times; but
there are some steps that you cannot skip without making a royal
mess. There is no emphasis added on those steps, everything is
treated the same. The "helpful" illustration - here's a perfect
example - to remove the tank, you have to remove 3 (sometimes 2)
bolts. Big, flat head suckers. They show a screwdriver going down
into the tank. What they don't show is the gymnastics you will try
to accomplish to secure the nut on the bottom from rotating as you
turn the bolts. You need a screw driver at least 2 feet long to
pull it off by yourself.
Then there's other stupid stuff. The fill valve gasket is a piece
of rubber, and they used the same piece of rubber to make a gasket
for the fill line. You've got to 'carve' it out with an X-acto
knife. WHY???
The newer kits that are sold now come with a "Leak guard"
attachment that adds way too much complexity for very little
benefit, and the flapper that comes in this kit is different than
the good one you buy separately. It has this dial on it where
you're supposed to be able to adjust how big the flush is. It's so
stupid and it doesn't work. It kept closing way too quickly no
matter what setting I had it on. I took it off to see if I could
figure out why it wasn't working, and a plastic piece in the center
of the rubber plug popped out. Nice. I got it back in, but then I
couldn't get the flapper to stop leaking. I finally replaced it
with another flapper. $8 down the toilet literally.
So forget Fluidmaster. You've been warned.

tends to leak at the joints regardless of how tight we crank it.
The arm tends to sink down over time and does not still in place.
It is a very disappointing product.

with it, this filter only removes about 50 percent of the chlorine
in tap water, and it does not remove any chlorine byproducts at
all. Thinking that any filter is better that no filter (usually
applied to pitcher filters, etc.), I installed it anyway. It
leaked. The O-ring that fits on either end of the little barrel
filter had not seated properly. Water all over the place. Took it
down. Took it apart. Put it back together. No leak for two months.
Then the other day, turned on the shower, heard a pop, and it leaks
again. Took it down, took it apart. Put it back together. Still
leaks. It's going into the trash. Don't bother with this filter, if
for no other reason than it's not very good at what it claims to
do. There are more effective products out there. I have one in my
other place.

reviews)Waterpik makes a brushed nickel version of this
showerhead, model # RPB 179. I know, because I purchased 2
yesterday that I stumbled upon at HomeGoods for $19.99 each. Oddly,
even Google can't as of this date find the RPB 179 - perhaps it is
brand new version? Anyway, it is same as RPB 173 except finish is
pretty brushed nickel and face is putty colored rather than black.
I love this model because:
1) Installation - Having now installed 2 in my home, I'm pretty
sure I could install a third in under 60 seconds if I really
hustled! Only tool you'll need is pliers to remove old
showerhead.
2) Flow - My goal is to get drenched, not massaged, and this model,
with it's six inch wide head and dozens of firm but not stinging
streams, succeeds marvelously.
3) Simplicity - I like simple things. This thing is very simple
with a clean-looking design. And it should last.
4) Positioning - Best feature of all. The adjustable nine-inch arm
enables you to position the head so that at it's lowest point it is
around 5 inches higher than a conventional fixed head. My old head
was around 5'11" off the floor of tub, this one is around 6'4". It
also enables you to position the head perhaps 6 inches further out
from the wall. So, no more bending over backwards or bumping into
the shower caddy, or maneuvering through the spray and around the
head to get the shampoo, etc.
5) Adjustability - the arm adjusts off the pipe, and the head
adjusts off the arm, so you can have the starting point and angle
of flow just how you like it, and such that it won't splatter on
drywall, out of shower, etc.
6) Looks - quite handsome. Get yourself a brushed-nickel caddy for
a good looking combo.
7) Quality - Early to say, but the two I installed don't leak at
all, not even a single drop.
8) Value - I love the little one-time changes that make life a tad
better daily. This thing does that, and if it lasts six years, it
does it for a penny a day.
It is a winner. Waterpik, you're gonna sell a lot of these if you
make them available.

of an old locomotive? Anyway...the sucker holds a bathrobe like
nobody's business! Good durable design worthy of a 19th century
train. Typical Price Pfister quality (much heavier than it needs to
be) and well worth the $23 bucks? What? Yeah...I thought that was
pricey too for a robe hook, but if you really, really want your
bathroom to match (and you know your family and neighbors will be
looking at that sort of thing) then this is the robe hook for you.
Buy it when you buy your bathtub and it will feel like a
bargain.

they told Amazon they would do for delivery.
The tub is physically attractive, even better than it looks in the
photographs on the site. The "apron" portion of the tub is my only
complaint, as it is not truly "straight" down the full length of
the tub, it has a bit of bend that either was molded in, or occured
in some way that it is not "straightened" during install, close,
but not quite. - Close enough that when we laid the tile it did
require the tile seams be adjusted, but after grout and silicone
along the edge, it is virtually not noticeable.
With that one minor thing to be aware of, this thing is a bargain.
I shopped some VERY expensive custom tub suppliers, and had a few
choices that looked as good as this tub, but were 4 times the
money, and were built from Acrylic also. Add to that the time frame
to order, and get what I wanted vs. ordering this on Amazon.com,
their geat policies for customer satisfaction, the American
Standard brand still does mean something, and this is a win / win /
win for manufacturer, supplier, and consumer. Call me happy - at an
above average rate.

reviews)While the Price Pfister Model 9613-15 light set
is sturdy and nice to look at when it's new, forget about using
this in the bathroom. The humid environment causes this fixture to
rust like an old ship in the ocean. Like a car in the cold north.
Like a Red Rider wagon in the rain. Like a cheap bathroom fixture
from Price Pfister and Checkolite. I purchased one from Lowe's
since it had a long warranty. It rusted a few months after it was
installed. Checkolite handles exchanges for Price Pfister and they
said they didn't get my emails or emailed pictures when I tried to
get an exchange. About 2 months later and a certified letter, they
finally sent me a replacement. The replacement rusted faster than
the first one. Like cheap stainless steel. Like my ragged old
mother after she turned 20. Well, here we go again. I sent the
email to them a week ago and no response. I guess I should have
learned the first go around. Unless you're going to install this in
a dry, sterile area, go with a glass sconce, or pay through the
nose for a unit that doesn't rust. I made light, no pun intented,
how badly this unit will rust but in all seriousness, go with
something else. Otherwise, you'll spend good money for a unit that
will rust quickly and getting it replaced will be equally if not
more, disappointing.

mother in law who is 81 yrs old. She loves it. The added height
helps and she likes the extra room on the enlongated model. It
flushes so nice and quiet and you only have to flush once! My
husband used a wax free seal and he says it works very well, not so
messy. We did a lot of research on toilets and this is rated the
very best by plumbers and users. We agree.

minor problems on porcelain bathtub or sink. Supposed to be sold
together with filler. Homedepot's price is around 5 dollars so this
web site is totally rip off. Well, it works if you are Picasso and
ready to spend 10 days to fix an issue. Its very sticky and hard to
apply evenly item. Bubbles appear on the surface covered
immediately after application. So you have to wait 24 hours than
sand it apply it again and repeat the cycle until it will be even
on the surface. It says white on the box however its more gray than
white. Works ok for flat surfaces, but for sides try to use another
product. Not recommended to buy.

reviews)I recently moved and wanted to replace my old
"gold" shower door with a nice new brushed-nickel finish
"frameless" type door. I was shocked at how expensive shower doors
are, but decided to take a chance on the Dreamline, which was very
inexpensive compared to most other options. I did not want to pay
to have it installed, so I decided to do it myself. I am just a
normal corporate type of guy - am not a contractor or anything, but
can do basic home improvements. This is one of the more advanced
projects for my skill level.
The product was shipped via Roadway Express. This had to be
specially scheduled with the local delivery dock - they did not
contact me, and I had to call them twice (after they failed to show
up). Anyway, that was the worst part of the whole process - but it
worked out.
The actual product has a very thick glass - sturdy and heavy. The
brushed nickel parts are of good quality - my only very minor
complaint is they almost look pink-tinted, but that is mostly due
to my bathroom colors. The instructions were fine. All you really
need is a good screwdriver, a drill and bits, and some silicone
(clear) caulk ... and a few hours of course!
A skilled installer could have it done in an hour. I took about 3
hours, but went VERY slow since I didn't want to mess anything up.
It is just a step-by-step process - anyone who is somewhat handy
will be fine.
One other great feature is how adjustable the edges are. My shower
opening is about an inch wider at the top than it is on the bottom.
This is a GREAT product for adjusting for shower openings that are
not contructed perfectly.
The ONLY part of the installation that I would change is that I
would NOT just rely on a level to install both left and right rails
/ anchors to the wall. In other words, I would completely install
the shower door first, and then install the opposite wall / closing
edge so it aligns with the door. I used a level and for some reason
the top of the door has a slight gap at the top. But no water
leaks, and it looks fine, so I'm still happy.
Also - be aware that there is no rail underneath the glass. The
glass includes a clear flexible "seal" that snaps on (for bottom
and sides), and it just rubs on the bottom underneath the glass to
form a seal against the tile. It works fine ... again, there is NO
water that leaks whatsoever ... but if you remove an old shower
that DOES have the rail along the bottom, your old tile may have
discoloration that will be visible after removing the old
shower.
Anyway, I love this shower door - great product at any price -
looks like a high-end product you would find at a fancy hotel -
highly recommended!

Installation was very easy and fast on a standard shower
fitting.
Works great but needs good shower pressure and volume to really get
the most from it. I would also suggest you need a good height to
allow the "spread" of the shower to cover you. Its not a "power"
but more of a rain type head that create a wider pattern.

3 handle set for the bath/shower in my home. I like the quality of
this product; I had looked at several other 3 valve units at my
local stores and found tapped threads with large metal shavings
still attached, etc. The Kohler part was machined better with more
attention to detail - no burrs, etc on the unit. That says a
lot.
The ceramic washer system is wonderful, as is the 1/4 turn feature
for full off to on. I had the old gerber style system with rubber
washers. I had to replace those every few months to a year and I
was still getting drips. Plus, when you turned them, you didn't get
a smooth change in flow rate. The Kohler unit is flawless - no
drips, and it smoothly changes the flow from off to on through the
90 degrees.
The holes through the wall needed to be enlarged for the valve body
- the old gerber valve body was considerably smaller.
That said, the only disappointment is that the valve bodies must
not be quite the same between manufacturers for easy replacement.
The 8" width is right, but the vertical distance from the valve
body centerline to where each of the 4 connections is made isn't
the same as the previous model. I had to alter the plumbing length
for all 4 connections, which turned this job into something
considerable longer. This is something these manufacturers should
have standardized a long time ago.
UPDATE: After one week of use, the hot water valve cartridge failed
(water flow would not shut off). Later found out a small screw was
in the valve and caused it to fail. I can't figure out how a screw
ended up there, and cannot tell if it came from the factory or it
was me. Lesson - check the valve body for foreign materials just in
case.
