Half flushes are kind of a gamble, aren’t they? I get the appeal of a quieter bathroom—my old apartment had one of those “whoosh” toilets and it start...
I get the appeal of tweaking or removing the flow restrictor, but isn’t that kind of defeating the purpose of an eco showerhead? I tried that route an...
That’s a fair point—dealing with a clog under a slab sounds like a nightmare. I’m curious though, for those who’ve lived with indoor traps, how tough ...
That’s a really solid approach—having both tech and a physical backup covers a lot of bases. I’ve been debating whether to invest in smart sensors mys...
