Hi Rodd,

If my experience will help, and I hope it does, it's the hoses to the shower behind the stall – the fittings are awful and sometimes installed incorrectly. By that I mean the little metal ring is on wrong and the thing never seals properly. Also, the hoses outboard of the shower take a very sharp turn that leaves sideways pressure on the fitting. That will make it leak. I've replaced mine with the fittings you can get at Home Depot and they work flawlessly. I also put a opening hatch to use that space for storage on Pete's and Tor's suggestion.

The other leak I had was the fittings under the head sink. Oh, and I don't know if the previous owner did this or one before that but the connections to the faucets were an abomination of tape, slit hoses, hose clamps and an ungodly number of brass couplings, reducers, and whatnot. Check that out, too.

Thanks for info on lifelines! I'll check with your source.

As for the water system, I have a persistent leak somewhere, but I cannot find it! My pump keeps cycling every minute or two for a few seconds. I may have to replace some lines and connectors as well. I noticed that my original lines are 1/2″ OD pex-type tubing. What are you using for the replacement lines and connectors to the sinks?
