Yep.
I only turn on the breaker when I need water and always turn it off after each use.
I went back to Ace Hardware and it's the biggest ACE I've ever seen but they didn't have the tape Dr. Bob mentioned. They did however have the exact plastic fitting and washers so I got two of each. The guy also said don't use plumbers tape and told me to use "Harvey's TFE PASTE".
Well, I hooked everything up and used Harvey's TFE on the plastic fitting as well as the washer. I googled how long it took for the TFE do set and it said no wait. I turned on the water pressure and NO LEAK!! I was a happy man!! My vacation will continue!!
Well, in a few minutes I turn on the water... no water from the cold side, damn! Harvey's TFE must be some really righteous compound as it's holding back a pressured waterline! I'm impressed!!!
Since I'm in SW Florida in almost summer I figure I won't use the hot water heater so I won't need to cool down the hot water with cold water. I can live with only the hot water side working and the vacation will continue!!
Like I told my brother when he told me "that sucks".... I told him on a boat if it was not that it would have been something else! lol

Perhaps based on trading the other 25 and tossing in a kidney... might only leave $50k difference.  |

I knew that should have provoked a response. What is a new 25' C-Dory Cruiser 100k?

How about 125K? I seem to remember a dealer up in CT. selling a New leftover 25' C-Dory Cruiser in 2008 no trailer for 60k. It had a Suzuki engine.

That would have been a hot deal in 2008, depending on the motor and electronics installed (and how "left over" it was). |
