Re: A New Journey Begins for OverEasy - 2023/2025

I read the biggest reason for ice makers failures is minerals in the water. Then, because I love gadgets...

Re: A New Journey Begins for OverEasy - 2023/2025

Excellent suggestion Russ! We have our pump on a timer so we aren’t keeping the loop hot 24/7. Even though my hot water piping is insulated, there are still heat losses, so I chose to reduce my pump run time. The master bath and bath 2 are right beside the water heater. Bath 3, (future bath 4), kit...

If you are doing plumbing and your bathroom is FAR from the water heater, now might be a good time to run a return line for a circ pump. We had our plumber do this for our far far bathroom. Hot water right away instead of waiting/running the hot until it starts flowing.

Re: Et tu Brut?

So did the impact break the roller? Or did you just discover it when you went up there?

Alright, I'm impressed on 2 counts. That hatch/heater looks amazing.

Awesome.

I'll give it a try. Mine is stiff as can be and seems to leak. Great idea for the porta potty too.
