A Plumbing Scheduled Maintenance Day

Before I used the bathroom for the first time today, Sheila had already started laundry. Typically, that is no problem but as I was trying to wash my face and brush my teeth, the water pressure in my faucet diminished to a trickle. " Hmmm... that isn't right..."  I immediately knew it was time to change the whole-house water filter so I jumped right into that project. This is the first time I had to change the filter cartridge in this particular whole-house water filter since I installed it a few months ago. I've replaced many water filters in our old whole-house filter but this was the first time with this newer model so it required me to pull out the instructions. It took a little extra time to figure it all out but the filter change was painless. I removed the old, dirty filter cartridge that came with this filter and installed a better charcoal filter.  This set the ball in motion for today. I spent some time on our plumbing doing some regular maintenance. Thi
