so i guess the cold water from our kitchen sink does not go through the water softener. the water filter we just got requires us to use cold water. so is it safe to use the unsoftened (cold water from the kitchen sink) with the water filter?

How can I get my laundry sink to drain?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
jasmine2283 asked:


My husband put some tomato soup down the garbage disposal in the kitchen. After running the disposal, the laundry sink (in the garage) filled with tomato soupy water. It drained fine overnight. However, I ran a small load of laundry today and the sink would not drain out the laundry water. The washing machine still has a bit of water in it as well.

I’m assuming the disposal has a clog that is connected to the sink, but I’m not sure of the best way to clear it. It’s an old house (built in the late 60s/early 70s) and the washing machine has a tube that drains into the sink next to it. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Kitchen Sinks; Essential Element Of Design And Function

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Daniel Marcus Manson asked:


In days gone by kitchens were kept in the back part of the home; they were not considered a suitable place for guests and socializing. Instead, they were more or less thought of only as work rooms, areas where necessary but messy tasks were done in order that meals could be prepared. Nowadays however, kitchens serve many functions, including; a simple kitchen working space, office area, entertainment area, eating/dining space, mud room, and more.

Designers of new homes are working hard to insure that homes incorporate the elements needed to allow for multi-purposing of spaces. And many owners of older homes are remodeling their kitchens to incorporate multi-functions. Of course, few people want a kitchen that does it all; rather, they want a kitchen that does everything that matters to them. Therefore, it is important to carefully think about what is essential to the individual during the design process.

The floor plan of the room will be essential in determining how functional it is. Many people prefer an ‘L’ shaped kitchen, but others like a triangular shape – this actually refers not only to the room itself, but to the location of the appliances. Sometimes there is little room for preference due to the shape of the room.

Some of the basic elements of any room include the walls and flooring, so those can be decided on early in the process. Also, most homeowners have an idea of the appliances that they prefer, so again, those can be decided on easily. The counter top should tie in the flooring and the cabinets – so it is a good idea to choose the cabinets before the countertop.

Kitchens always need Kitchen Sinks. The good news is that sinks now come in a great variety of options. The fact is that one can choose from various designs as well as sinks made from various materials. Some of the more popular choices include copper sinks, fireclay sinks, apron front sinks, and stainless steel sinks.

When selecting a sink for your kitchen start by considering your needs, and then think about the overall design that you want to convey. The sink is the one element that can actually act to pull the other kitchen components together. That’s why choosing the sink wisely is so important. Not only is it an essential building block of the design, but the kitchen is not functional without it. Your sink will bring the design and the function together seamlessly.
