Review on Viega 50250 2 Inch PureFlow Manabloc by Edward Noble

I would say this is a good idea for a product. This 1-star rating is about the business of the company and possible additional costs over time. Firstly, there are no adapters for the three main line connectors in the package, and no other adapter is suitable for this distributor. The product image shown on Amazon shows metal connectors, but these are not included. The buyer will be forced to purchase their metal connectors separately for $9. .I would guess that maybe the company included a connection in the package at the very beginning. However, they found it more profitable to sell the adapter separately, since most customers look for a price first. The total cost to get this system up and running is $172 instead of $145. sure how long the o-ring will last. One of the important aspects for the water supply system is reducing the number of potential leak points and reducing the use of O-rings. A ball valve will last much longer than an O-ring system. I see a company that sells a replacement rotary valve handle, there are a lot of rubber gaskets and seals on the side. So there are many more O-rings in this manifold, and the failure of any of them requires a lot of work, especially if the defective element is in the manifold. You may need to remove or replace the entire system. With a traditional system, this problem does not arise as any o-ring or potential leak is usually at the end of the pipe and the leak usually only needs to be worked around the end of the pipe to fix the leak. : If you are building a similar system, buy lots of tees and ball valves. Hot/Cold Color Coded Pex Ball Valves can be purchased on Amazon for $3.6 each. The tee is $30 for 25 pieces. The cost can be less than $100. clunky looking, an experienced plumber can install them nice and nice. The ball valve lasts much longer and there is no o-ring. A direct Pex connection lasts almost forever. Finally, I would like to say that this is a smart and good product. When there are three adapters in the package, I can't write or write that much. As an engineer running my own business, I think the product can be modified in a number of ways to make it more reliable. And from a commercial point of view, please don't deceive the customer by showing the adapter you need on the Amazon picture without including it in the package, and force the customer to buy an expensive adapter separately. Just adjust the price and include the necessary adapters.
