Okay, shop talkers, here's a puzzle. One of the guys on another list has just completed a bathroom remodel. The problem he is having, however, is that hot water doesn't drain as fast from his sink as

I'm guessing it has nothing to do with how warm the water going into the drain is; but rather that hot+cold flows in faster than cold alone and is also more turbulent/traps more air. My bathroom sin

I'm glad that I'm not the only scientist puzzled by that. My theory was the same as Randall's. To test it, I would measure the flow from the faucet of hot and cold water. ___________________________

Well, he could always do an experiment. Fill bucket with hot water. Dump it in and time it. Fill bucket with cold water. Dump and time again. Can also time the filling of the bucket to see if you are

Randall is apparently correct. It was all a matter of perception. In a "controlled" experiment, the sink was filled with cold water and drained. Then filled with hot water and drained. It was repeate

Tim, I agree with Randall. However, the above test saturated the system, so it should have actually drained a little slower than if just one of the faucets were turned on. Now while this starts to ex

As long as we are talking about slow drains I have a weird story to tell. A few years ago our upstairs bathrooms started draining extremely slow for no apparent reason. When the toilets flush they wo

Yep. When he filled up the sink and turned the water off then pulled the plug, it took the same amount of time to drain - hot or cold. It was just that when he filled the sink with a "mix" it filled

Pretty good. And the fact that all the toilets were trying to overflow was a clue that it was a vent problem... (for future reference). Our old (1927) house has many vent stacks, but it seems that m

Your sewer service already leaked. Older sewer services were made with either clay or iron pipe in short sections with bell fittings. The fittings leak. The roots find the nutrients in the sewage an

Fewer penetrations through the insulation envelope is a good thing. A surprising amount of heat is lost around them. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com _____________________________________________

Aye, there's the rub. I have a similar problem with slow washing machine drain, and it's my opinion that the line has the wrong pitch (possibly even backwards pitch) allowing sediment and lint to co

Speaking of lint from washers.....one of the best cheap preventive measures you can get is to go to your neighborhood True Value store and buy a lint trap to go on the end of your washer discharge. I

My mother used to tie a nylon stocking to the end of the washing machine hose. Same idea. Modern washers should be much gentler on clothes, though. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com ______________
