A single small leak? Can you cut out the offending parts & re-
connect with SharkBite?


I'll be "on site" this weekend and planning to take a closer look at it.
The leak seems to be where the PEX meets the shutoff valve but since
this is the first PEX I've ever seen, it was greek to me. Now that I
know more than zero about the stuff, I should be able to acquire tools
and supplies sufficient to devise and implement a repair.

Since the PEX system is manifold based, I'm assuming recirculating would
have to be done for each branch rather than house-wide. The lag is most
annoying in the kitchen, though, so some fix is definitely on the menu
there.

This is the one i'm considering for our kitchen. Although the review
say it's a bit loud. Perhaps a remote mounting could help in that area.

I'm not too keen on the manual start "feature" on that one, though. How
often do you walk into the kitchen and say, "hmm, I think I'd like to
have some instant hot water three minutes from now?"
