Sigh

I work for a large contractor. We got called out to finish a job that was started by another (normally) reputable company. This is for an apartment complex. The maintenance manager started noticing stuff like this. The main line into the building was leaking under the slab, and he was under the impression they were going to fix that in the bid. Not only did they not have any intention of solving their biggest problem, they littered the walls with these kinds of goodies. Random sharkbites to old cpvc where they claimed it would be too hard to repipe it. They even used sharkbite couplings to connect the brand new pex upon occasion. I can definitely see why they got the boot. Thanks for the business, I guess.

What plungers are you pros using?

I do maintenance and I'm really sick of flimsy plungers that don't reform or just suck in general. Any brand/model recommendations? I'm forced to order through Fastenal sometimes Granger and their selection is garbage.

Shower handle not working correctly?

I turned the faucet on and noticed the faucet felt loose. Then the faucet isnt turning how its supposed to. I try turning the faucet off but water was still running. If I try to turn the faucet all the way to the right how its supposed to, water runs but if I keep it in this position of how I turn I have in the picture, the water turns off. How do I fix this?

How bad is this? Looks janky AF

My building has been “upgrading” its plumbing, since the work in the pic was done the water pressure in my shower has been severely reduced. The maintenance crew is going to attempt to fix it tomorrow, but seeing this I’m sort of doubting their ability to do so lol

Is this setup correct ?

Hi everyone, I just bought a house with a pool and I’m trying to get the heating system to work. After a bit of troubleshooting there is hot water coming to/from the heat exhanger so I reckon that’s ok for that part but the temperature of the water in the pool won’t rise the slightest even after a whole day. My next guess would be an improper setup of the bypass valves but if I’m not wrong on how those valves work it should be in a « 100% of the water goes through the heat exchanger » mode. And yes the pump is running, kinda hard to tell what path the water is taking by feeling the pipes because the pressure is not that high and the whole thing is rumbling due to the filtering and heating systems running.. Thanks !
