Plumbing: I live in a rural area with a shallow well ~25 ft.

The pump and pressure tank are in a pit outside. I have never had a problem with running low on water but sometimes I get a lot of air in my pipes and the pressure is low. What causes this? Do I need a bigger pump?

How can I get rid of bad odor that comes from my shower drain?

It does not seem to be clogged (have "snaked" it) and cleaners only give temporary results. The best so far has been baking soda/vinegar/boiling water, but doesn't solve problem.

Home Maintenance & Repairs: Kohler shower heads just dribble.

Two bathrooms in this 11 year old house have some kind of high end shower heads in them. There are two big fat heads at about chest level and the regular overhead showerhead. There are ...»
three rotating adjustment faucets, one is for temperature and the other two adjust volume and which of the three faucets turns on. In addition, someone has added (?) a handheld shower in each shower enclosure. I cannot get any of the three Kohler fixtures to work right. Also, the temperature regulator does not adjust the temperature. It is either very hot, or not hot, and it does not seem to make much difference how I turn it. Hot water does adjust OK in the tub and sinks which have separate hot and cold faucets. I have resorted to just using the handhelds and praying I can get in and out without freezing or scalding myself. Where do I even begin??

Green Living: My septic tank needs to be cleaned out and this is the first time I've had to have it serviced.

Is there a standard price for this? Is there a place that you recommend if you have had it done before?

Just had a client tell that GA Power told them not to insulate their gas water heater.

Can anything think of a reason why not? They were told it was going to sweat.

a.o. smith version from AMERICAN HOMETEC. No more descaling or iron deposits and it softens the water naturally, plus they kill all bacteria with nano far infrared technology which heats the water.

Cleaning & Organization: I have a "smelly" disposal!

I've cleaned it with all the retail cleaners made for that. I've tried vinegar. I've ground up ice cubes in it. Everything seems to work for a brief period but the smells keep coming back. Any ideas?
