Hey guys - the hose from acehose may just be what I am looking for. I just want to be sure it's safe and that it doesn't impart any altered "taste" after the water runs through it like what happens with a regular garden hose or something.

Hey Folks, I recently installed a tankless hot water heater to replace a defunct tanked one. When I installed this unit, I made sure to include an extra valve on the hot water outlet thinking that I could utilize the on demand hot water to cut down on the time it takes to heat water for...

Follow up: Folks, as a follow up to this post. The Stout has been forced carbed for the last week and it turned out nice but the head disappears after a healthy, foamy pour in less than 1 minute. I cant say for sure why, but I'm guessing the oils in the coffee or the extra oats? Anyway, just...
