A friend replaced to Raritan PH heads
with 2 new PHII heads - he was assured by Raritan that the floor bolt

when the bolts are glassed in from the back and there's no access
except by sawing it all up.

The bolts never should have been glassed in...but builders as well as
owners do some really stupid things when it comes to sanitation
plumbing. However, the job would have been a lot easier if, instead of
sawing it all up, he'd used a hole saw slightly larger than the bolts to
get the bolts out, then filled the holes with epoxy or other appropriate
fiberglass filler.


check the outlet
hose to see there's no buildup on the inside - if there is - remove
the hose and beat it on dock to get out most and clean rest with acid.

NO need to remove the hose...a few applications of undiluted white
vinegar down the toilet will disssolve a mild buildup...a 12% solution
of muriatic acid and water will dissolve a bad case, in the hose AND the
pump. Wait about 45 minutes, then flush all the acid out with clean water.

replace the joker valve and try it from there.

Joker valves should be replaced annually.
