RE: Finished Bathroom Pics (two bathrooms!)--very pic heavy (Follow-Up #14)
posted by: staceyneil on 01.06.2011 at 07:58 am in Bathrooms Forum pharaoh- I remember reading somewhere on line (not sure where, maybe here!) that the part most likely to fail was the temperature probe/sensor. That's a cheap part, so we simnply ran two of them, and left the second one's wires loose in the junction box. That way, if the first fails, we have a backup. Coming from a marine/boat repair background, we're all about redundancy in systems :)
Otherwise, my understanding, and experience after installing 2, is that the other likely way for one of these systems to fail is installation error. Like if a wire gets nicked during tile installation or whatever. So- you have to be really careful about that. The systems are composed of three basic parts: But, yeah, it IS sort of scary to spend the big$$ and then cement the parts under the floor, topped with expensive tile. If the actual wire fails, well, that's just too d*%n bad! In my house, at least, that floor ain't coming up! (One of the reasons I like the lower-priced wire!!!) NOTES: <none>
