Watch on ebay and try to find a system at a bargain price.

After my original post, I did try going to ebay to see if they were
available for sale, what they cost, etc.


HIRE A PRO, YOU CHEAP *******.

I was surprised to see this type of obnoxious comment from you, 1)
because I don't recall you being that type of poster on this
newsgroup in the past, and, 2) because you don't know me, and you
have no idea about who I am or whether this has anything to do with
me trying to be cheap (which it doesn't).

You must be new here. I've been here for many years. There are times
when you need to go to a pro and pay the man what he wants. Lawyers,
surgeons, and plumbers come to mind.

YMMV.

Every time I have had a major plumbing problem I couldn't fix, I
called the pros, and every time, they came and fixed it. Every time,
it was beyond the scope of my experience or tools. And every time, I
was happy to give the man a check, and know the problem was solved.

You seem to like the experimentational approach.

Steve

I like your approach (hire a pro). However, the last time I hired a
plumber (the best in town, they said) was for a small leak from the body
of my Moen kitchen faucet. $225 and weeks of futile attempts later, this
newsgroup suggested I call Moen, since there lkely was a known problem
with the faucet (vacuum breaker). I did, was offered a free part, but
took the new faucet for $50 plus 2-day shipping. Plumber had offered to
put in the new faucet if the last "fix" didn't work, and required only
mild prodding by spouse to do so.

After many yearly rotorooter attempts, we finally gave in to the sewer
digger and had the 70 year-old clay sewer pipe replaced by modern
plastic. Plus the town paid to have the lateral fixed. SO far so good.
We'll find out in a few years if this fix was worth our $2900 for the 20
feet or so of pipe.
