As for the toilets I think I'll just shut them off after use with the existing hot and cold handles :-) Then if the valve washers wear soon I will attempt to replace. If that is not good I may have the plumber put in the ball lever valves. I'll cross that bridge if I get to it. Yea, I thought...

These are all good ideas. It's a matter of my clearance between the wall and the hot and cold tap. They come out and angle down like a sink tap but with the screw on ends that look like they have a fitting to adapt to the hose type fitting. I have about two inches between the wall and the...

I'd rather have something like the one with the 3/4 ball valve and lever ( Pictured in post above )as it seems more for appliances, while these others are sold as mostly convienence for garden hoses. This would seem the best if I go the garden hose route. Most other brands had reported leaks...

Reply to yogitunes Your joking about the skill level , I assume :-) I see how that would work but is it really any more reliable than not using one? A Melnor hose valve for $2.98. The brass one has only one review; that claims it restricts the flow. I will consider all options even this $2.98...

One Detail I forgot I forgot to mention that the valves for the washer have separate taps one each for the hot and cold rather than run into one tap like the tub. I suppose that's obvious? :-) They each have a turn knob and a tap with threads under them coming out of the wall. One for each...

Undecided Still? Undecided Still? :-) Can I tell if a washer gets a leak if it's hooked to the hose? There would be no faucet to drip from. Would it drip from around the faucets handle knob? It seemed once it did. I don't know the technical if a open faucet with a bad washer would be...

Not sure? OK Not sure? I'm inclinded to leave them on. Then with my self dianosed OCD I'll probably obsess and turn them off later. Why can't this be simlple. I guess it really is. It's my 52 year old valves the bug me. :-) I should just do as I had and turn them off and if a a washer goes...

A few opinions here :-) I'm not sure what i'll do yet? A few opinions here :-) Most seem to favor shutting them off. I don't have rubber hoses. When I ordered the unit online from Home Depot they required me to buy $20 steel hoses. My washer is in a utility room out side main side door...

The mnauals always say to shut of the hot and cold faucets after each use. My late father did this fanatically for all his years. I have the 50 year old style hot and cold valves like some showers have. The washers are touchy and tend to wear out fast and are hassle to work on. I'd prefer to...

Thank you very much! Thank you very much! Do you remember me five years ago? Well my Amanatag actually lasted 9 years. The top seal went as the bottom also started pouring out a few gallons of water on each cycle. I figured it was a junker. I actaully had to argue and send my brother...

Can't Edit - No big deal Had a few typos there intall, fo and tow meant install of course, and two and for And misspelled regulated :-) Tired....

Hi, I failed to see the intall instuction that said to wash two small White/Rinse cycles for a proper install. I have washed a few super size loads since I've had it. Did I ruin anything? Should I do some type of reinstall or unplug and do this routine of running tow small loads? What is the...
