New homeowner with stinky water.

What about it?

Purchased the home 6 months ago. About 2 weeks back the hot water in my shower started to smell funky, and it will gag you at this point. After a little research I figured it was the anode rod, but the heater isn't a year old so that didn't make sense. I drained it to 3/4 full, cut off the intake, and went to check the rod, only to find a spray foam? Is it normal for a new unit to not have an anode? And if so, how do I get one in here? I really appreciate any help I can get 😕

Wye without 1/8 bend

What about it?

Will this work like this or need the 1/8?

Adding a second sump pump.

What about it?

The little 1/3 HP pump I currently have keeps getting overwhelmed (quite badly), I want to add a more powerful secondary pump.The second pump I want to add needs a 2" discharge pipe (as opposed to the 1.5" in the pic). I've thought of a few ways to go about it but I was wondering if there's an obvious option that you guys know of. Replace the 4" wye with a double wye? How would I go about removing the old fitting? Thanks!

Is this a thing or is my airbnb just trying to deter people with an empty threat?

Water dripping from underneath out of faucet screws

What about it?

Hey guys, not a plumber at all but my mom's sink is leaking so I'm playing the part. Looks like we've got these screws here holding the faucet from underneath, the sink is one of those shitty porcelain ones you have to get behind to work on. I'm gonna just take stuff apart and see if anything looks messed up, but I'm curious if anyone experienced here knows right away from that symptom. Water drips down from the heads of these 2 screws

How is this thing called?

What about it?

It leaks and I don’t know how it is called to replace it. I replaced the other thing in the background I’m the past but it’s the first time I see some sort of device on the drain hole instead of just cover

Outside shower. Just another wonderful part of plumbing.

Kraus filter faucet connector

What about it?

I’ve installed a Kraus single handle filtration faucet (KFF-161 and I’m looking for advice on under sink filters that are compatible. Is the filtered water inlet to the faucet (pictured) a standard type of fitting? I’m wondering if I’m stuck with the Kraus filter setup as well.

What about it?

I just noticed this a couple days ago. What could be the issue? Cleanout is the black thing at top of photo.
