Q: Should the toilet tank empty completely when flushed?

• <div><p>No, your toilet tank should not empty completely when you flush. Although the water level will dip a lot after you flush, it shouldn&rsquo;t be totally empty. If your tank is empty, you might have issues with your fill valve, float ball, or toilet trip lever. You should check all of your toilet parts to ensure they&rsquo;re working correctly and make any necessary adjustments.</p></div>

Q: Why is my shower diverter not fully diverting?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons your diverter valve may not be fully diverting. Blockages from mineral buildup are common, but if your diverter is older, it may be suffering from normal wear and tear. Components can wear down or crack. In some cases, the cartridge may be defective, and you&rsquo;ll need to replace it.</p></div>

Q: What are common causes of sprinkler pipe leaks?

• <div><p>Sprinkler pipes can leak for various reasons, including physical damage from being stepped on or punctured by garden tools. Systemic issues can also be the cause, such as broken or damaged O-rings and connections. Leaks may also occur if the pipes were not installed correctly or if the above-ground valves have failed.</p></div>

Q: Can you water plants with water softened with potassium chloride?

• <div><p>Yes, you can water plants with water softened with potassium chloride. Potassium is a vital nutrient for plants, so using this type of water is harmless and can even be enriching. It is often a better option than water softened with sodium chloride, as too much sodium can build up in the soil and make it difficult for plants to absorb the water they need. If you notice that your plants are not tolerating the treated water, try letting it sit in a watering can for one to five days to allow the chlorine to diminish.</p></div>

Q: How do I check my shower water pressure?

• <div><p>You can use a water gauge to check that water pressure, which should be between <b>40 and 60 PSI</b>. If you don&rsquo;t have a water gauge, you can also time how long your showerhead takes to fill up a <b>1-liter container</b>. If it takes longer than <b>6 seconds</b>, you&rsquo;re dealing with a case of low water pressure.</p></div>
