Hello all
Second (and final by my count) hip successfully installed 5 days back. I just successfully began walking w/ just a cane, though I will need my walker for longer movements (several minutes or so) for another week or so. In 4 weeks I hope to walk w/o pain and w/ a real gait for the first time in my 51 tears. Yotal time for both installations and expected near full recovery - 12 weeks.
I do not have a water heater bypass and would find it difficult to install in the tight below-cabinet-space and to get at the FW tank under the dinette.
If FW tank flushing is a good idea for springtime anyway, why not just invest in 4 to 6 gallons of antifreeze ($3.60/gal at campingworld - must be less at walmart) and pour pink stuff and a gallon or 2 extra added water into FW filler to fill water heater's 6 gallons plus a bit more for the pipes and bottom of FW tank? Annual cost is not that bad, $25 bucks.
No getting under cabinets, just pour in and drain out and flush w/ bleach and pure water again.
Am I missing something, cause I would consider $25 a year cheap and keep things simple in the process. When I work on water things, I create leaks.
