Q: Why can’t I unscrew my toilet seat?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve accessed the bolts and nuts that hold your toilet seat in place and can&rsquo;t unscrew them, it&rsquo;s possible that they were overtightened or that the material corroded over time, making it impossible to unscrew. If that&rsquo;s the case, you can either call in a plumber for help, or you can DIY a solution if you&rsquo;re careful. Lay down masking tape around the mounting bracket and then use the tape as a surface to lay a hack saw blade. Move slowly to cut through the bracket and bolt, being careful not to damage the porcelain in the process.</p></div>

Q: Can you use hose water to fill a hot tub?

• <div><p>You can and should use a hose to fill a hot tub. There shouldn&rsquo;t be anything special about the hose other than it shouldn&rsquo;t be damaged. Kinks or leaks could slow down the filling process. Attach the hose to the nearest spigot and get the water flowing. </p></div>

Q: What causes the toilet handle to get stuck?

• <div><p>Toilet handles can get stuck for a couple of reasons, but it&rsquo;s commonly an issue with the chain. Remove the lid and check the chain&rsquo;s connection, running from the flapper to the handle arm. Sometimes the chain gets snagged on or against another part of the tank. </p><p>The chain might not have the right tension. For example, a chain that&rsquo;s too short can make the handle feel stuck. Check that there&rsquo;s some slack in the chain. Old, worn-out flappers can get stuck, too. In this case, you&rsquo;ll need to see <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-toilet-flapper-do-i-need.htm">which size toilet flapper you need</a>.</p></div>

Q: Why does my outside spigot have no pressure?

• <div><p>There are a multitude of causes for low water pressure in outdoor spigots. Normally, the water just gushes right out of them, but a soft trickle happens if the spigot itself is old or damaged. If parts are misplaced or worn down, the water pressure won't be as high as it should be. More complex causes include ruptured water lines and problems with the water meter.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between flushing and draining a hot water heater?

• <div><p>Draining is the process of removing sediment buildup that has accumulated at the bottom of your hot water heater&rsquo;s tank. Flushing is a more elaborate process that involves running fresh water through the tank to clean the inside thoroughly. You should at least drain your hot water heater once per year and flush it every other year&mdash;better yet, alternate between draining and flushing every six months.</p></div>
