I was going to order a pair of these. One of my stainless hoses just developed a drip overnight, second time this has happened although these hoses have been on for I guess over 5 years (I heard there is still a recommended replacement interval even on stainless). Same failure as last time, a crack on the 90 degree fitting, in the tube itself not a joint. I like the FloodChek idea of using hydraulic hoses. But you need to buy a cast brass 45 degree fitting to add to it, and I know these can crack as well with time, we have had to have our main water shutoff valve replaced a couple times for the SAME thing, crack in the housing or body of the valve, not a leak at a seal, an actual crack seeping water. But would be cheaper, if the adapters crack in a few years, to replace the adapter I could obtain locally. But I just want the unexpected drip-fest to stop. I do have hammer arresters in the house and a pair on the machine itself. So unsure if I need to go to this extreme of the FloodCheck, or just replace the hose and replace every 5 years. As an addendum, when I go to order from FloodCheck, both the hoses and adapters, I get this: [COLOR="#FF0000"]Due to an unanticipated high demand, we are currently "Out of Stock of the Brass Coupling Adapters." Place your order today and the “estimated ship date” should be within 14 to 21 days.[/COLOR](says the same for the hoses just with the different product name) So unsure if I should get them or not, I need something "now", but could buy cheapest for now and upgrade when I get these.

Hey all - I've got a Kohler toilet that runs for a few seconds every half hour or so. One at a time, each time certain that I'd identified the faulty part, I've replaced the fluidmaster, the flapper, and yesterday the whole flush valve assembly (with new flapper too). And new gasket assembly when I did the flush valve. So there's literally nothing besides the actual porcelain that's the same now, yet imagine my blood pressure when she started her old tricks. The water level *slowly* drops about an inch, finally triggering a fillup. I am seeing it in the water bill :/ Just can't for the life of me figure out how the water is getting out of the tank. I was sure a new flush valve assembly would do it...but I do VERY much hate dealing with the spud nut - had to buy a special wrench from Home Depot and it was still really hard to get it in there due to the gasket assembly. It did say not to over-tighten, and I'm sure that I didn't - but perhaps it's a bit loose somehow? And the new bolts on the gasket I just hand-tightened by pushing down the bolt head as hard as I could and finger-tightening on the bottom, which seemed to be really snug as soon as I let go due to the rubber relaxing. Who knows - just grasping at straws! I'm sure this is infintessimaly small potatoes for you all - but I long ago exceeded my plumbing "expertise!" Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
