Spent the night this weekend with nights of 40ish. Had to turn off the pump switch because of a leak somewhere. In the morning I find drips under the sink where the city water inlet meets the sink feed and quick disconnect feed, only for all drips to disappear as the temps rose.
And would you look at this craziness...how many excess joints can you count? (ignore the disconnected quick connect...I was narrowing down leak points) COME ON GULFSTREAM.
I think this means I need to redo the PEX joints and eliminate a bunch of others. Buying the required PEX tools (cutter, crimper) is an unexpected expense, but probably worth having in the tool box!
