Re: Can fill valve cause water to leak into toilet bowl?

get a tall, dual flush with a self closing lid. It will change you life! HD has that all in one box.

Add a bidet seat if you want to get really wild!

Re: Taco Zone Valve hack?

If I got this right the valve is open when there is no power to it and it closes when you power it. If thats how it works you can use a 90-340 relay and the power the valve through the NC contacts and tie the tstat to the relay coil and that will open the contacts and drop power to the valve.

RIB relays for around 10 bucks is an inexpensive way to do this.
We use them when you have a valve that needs power to open and power to close.

One issue with N.C valves is they end up powered for a lot of the year, probably shortens their life.

Re: Annual Tuneup, now horrible burning smell

I'll go with the tool. And you need to get your new man out there to find it and fix it.

Re: oops!!!!

Take a photo of the burner control to which the wires were attached… and post that. And then figure out where the other end of each wire is and what it attaches to and post that. Someone will figure it out ( @EdTheHeaterMan is a genius at that!)
