Moen motion sensor faucet

Check the power to it, battery or transformer unit. Ensure that the data cable and power source cable (battery pack or AC adapter) are plugged in tight and secure. Check Batteries: If using a battery pack, ensure the batteries are installed correctly and are snug in the battery holder. Loose batteries can cause the faucet to operate erratically. Sept 24, 2020

Have Taboret K 8201-4 bathroom faucet with T handles.

Question edited to fix the typos. Always worrying when they discontinue lines, and it makes you wonder why? https://www.us.kohler.com/us/taboret-centerset-bathroom-sink-faucet-with-lever-handles/productDetail/product:420060/420060.htm I normally find that they use steel screws and they stick. Make some sort of a dam around the screw with stout polythene like Ziploc bag and electrical tape to seal the base. Then squirt penetrating oil or WD40 in there to cover the screw head. Top it up a couple of times a day and do that for two days. That should loosen it up and get the oil down the threads. Often it is just easier to buy a new set.

Grundfos MQ pump starts every 15 seconds

Pressure is bleeding back through the pump or system to the tank or well or where ever the water is coming from. Should be some sort of one way valve to keep water from going back to the source, mounted somewhere so that once pressure is pumped up, it will hold that pressure in the part of the system that has the pressure switch that controls the pump.That or you have a leak where you can't see it. (Actually you do, it is just internal and not leaking outside the pipes!)

Reverse Osmosis air gap faucet leaking.

this is an easy fix and quite common. I found that removing the drain line where saddle is mounted and clean it from the inside. A common leaking problem in most taps is the "air gap leak." It occurs when water leaks through the hole on an air gap faucet. An air gap is a vital component of the reverse osmosis system. It prevents the back flow of water into the reverse osmosis unit. Instead, the air gap directs the excess water into the drain lines. When a lot of debris accumulates in the drain line, it clogs up, creating back pressure that forces water to flow out through the air gap. Unfortunately, the back flow can flood your countertop. To fix this problem, remove all the debris accumulated in your drain line to allow water to flow smoothly. You can use a wire brush or a pipe cleaner to clean out the drain line, starting from the end connected to the system's drain saddle. You should also clean the system's drain saddle and ensure that it's properly aligned with the drain line. That's because the drain saddles can sometimes shift away from the drain lines. To avoid air gap leaks completely, treat the drain line regularly using a natural cleaner that can dissolve the solids blocking it. Also, avoid flushing big chunks of food down the drain line.

Flotec 42 gallon water tank - short cycling and

These holding tanks are pre charged with air which in turn pressurizes the water. The tank has a bladder and an air valve on top. The pre charge ,over time, loses pressure, and the tank has to be pressurized again.
  • The well pump needs to be turned off.
  • The water has to be drained from the tank
  • Air is put into the tank from the air valve on top of the tank, and is measured with a tire air gauge.
  • The pre charge pressure is set to two psi below the pump cut in pressure.
  • In other words if your pump kicks on at 30 psi, the pre charge pressure is set at 28 psi. If the pump kicks in at 20 psi, the pre charge is set at 18psi, etc.
  • After you pressurize the tank, turn water back on.
  • If water comes out of air valve on top of tank, then the bladder is ruptured and you need a new tank.
  • Hope this helps!

My GE 153 will fill and drain but will not spin or agitat

The main motor is not running. I suspect water damage to the controller, probably corrosion on the motor wiring terminals. Also check the motor itself for signs of corrosion, especially at the terminals and the centrifugal switch housing at the end opposite the pulley..
