The one they used just hooked to the garden hose, and it seems I could run something like that myself annually and probably save a bunch of money and be able to use it at other properties periodically as a maintenance item.

I paid $24 for the kit of hoses, and $10 for the electrical plug, and $79 for delivery and installation.

I grew up in a hose with 1 bathroom and 5 people and it definitely wasn't ideal.

I’m curious on what have you decided to do with your property - ended up selling, hosing, leasing?

So, lot coverage, building permits, etc. will be assessed as though it were the entire lot.EXAMPLEYou own a home on 6 acres, you want to sell the bottom 3 acres, but you are in an area zoned for minimum size parcels of 5 Acres (Ag-5), if you create a CPR you can own your 3 acres Fee Simple and sell (or more correctly have someone join your CPR) and acquire the bottom 3 acres Fee Simple, each of your are responsible for own debt, taxes, mortgage, etc. on your own land parcel.One of the biggest factors is Water and how much the water supply can accommodate, ie. how many fixtures can be supplied, sinks, toilets, hose bibs, etc.Here is a link to the Maui county’s form for calculationhttp://www.co.maui.hi.us/DocumentCenter/Home/View/4609When creating a CPR, you are considered a developer.

@Franklin Thomas can you identify the specific reason for failure, like did they put water in it instead of hydraulic fluid?

Every 8 years, replace all faucets, under cabinet water lines,  toilet mechanicals, washer and dryer lines and vent hose just to name a few.    

my biggest pet peeve with my handyman is that he is messy and doesn't clean up well...washed his paint brushes so much in the bath tub in one unit that it clogged the cast iron..to be fair the pipes were on their last months anyways, but now i specify to use the hose outside....most handymen will leave a mess until the last day, and then be pissed when they have to clean it up..it's better to just clean up your little messes every day..definitely let him know he is responsible for cleaning before he leaves every day...also, my handyman likes me to buy all items, as he never has money...this is good bc i am not getting upcharged for his services of going to the store...then again, everytime he needs an extra gallon of paint, or even one little fitting for pex, he calls me while i'm at work and can't do the job until i get him the piece....I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN...for now on, it will be worth it to me to pay a little extra for their services of gathering all materials, and i will get quotes for materials and labor..but that depends on how busy you are i suppose...also i like to specify that they can get paid on Wednesdays, per job they have fully completed...i will not run out there on a friday night bc he needs money and finished a job..going in, they know wednesday is pay day for them for the work that has been completed so far..let me know if you have any questions, as i have worked with a few shady people!!

I was afraid that was the answer and I can't say as I would blame the investor who's getting hosed from being very cooperative in being shafted.donrock

I've heard stories of folks solving the problem with a soaker hose, which makes since if the settlement is not too severe.
