I've been installing a roman tub (cadenza elite) in my bath, I'm not in a rush (and this stuff is expensive!). I have a waterfall filler ($600, yikes!), which looks great when it's on, but who wants to sit and watch 80 gallons of water flow until it's full? So, here's my idea, using OEM parts (intake and deck mounted air switch). Install a second intake next to the existing one, running that to a small (700-900 gph) aquarium style pump, then through a one way check valve (so water doesn't flow through the intake when the faucet is on), then through a ball valve (so I can adjust the flow) and then into a T off the filler line. This way, I can have the waterfall running anytime I want once the tub has enough water in it, and not just when the tub is filling with water. All told, I'm looking at about $200 in materials and a little extra labor to put it all together. I couldn't come up with any reason this wouldn't work, the aquarium pump only takes about 40 watts, so it should easily work on the existing pump outlet (the heater is on a seperate circuit) and both are GFCI'd, so I'm covered there as well. thoughts?

Hello All, I am hoping you can help me out with an extremely frustrating situation. For about a month, I have not had any hot water in my bathroom. I live in a highrise apartment building, on the 7th floor. When I turn on my hot water in the morning (around 6:15am), barely a trickle of water comes out of the hot water side of the single-spigot, twist-knob faucet in the tub. It is not even enough water to make the shower turn on. The same goes for the hot water faucet in the sink; barely a trickle of water comes out of the hot water side. In the evenings (when the demand for water in my building is lessened), I get lots of water coming out of the hot water side of the tub faucet...but it is COLD water. If I leave the water on for about 40 minutes, it eventually will get WARM. Taking a shower in the morning, however, is out of the question; it is essentially a dry spigot. Do you know what the problem might be? My realty company claims that there was an electrical problem with the pump but that it was fixed last week. It was not. Can you please help provide me with some information so I can prove to them that there are real problems going on here? Could it be a grundfos or circulating pump problem? Unfortunately, because I am young and female, I keep getting the run-around by the maintenance folks. Please, please help me. Sincerely, Kristi
