comment Is there a glue which holds to glazed porcelain tiles?
Another thought is a suction cup for the tile that has a eyelet. A hook could be attached to the curtain, perhaps using the existing Velcro.

If the tub is iron or steel, they make curtains with magnets sewn in that stay in place nicely.

comment Why aren't my radiators heating up after I replaced a rusted through pipe?
Sure sounds like a bit of rust flaked off and is blocking somewhere. Intake to circulation pump seems like a likely spot to look. Seems the unit is Dutch. docs.google.com/…

comment Why does my Rinnai Infinity water heater fire up after turning off the cold tap?
Just a guess, it probably has internal pressure balance valving, similar to the anti-scald on shower valves. The anti hammer cartridge (for both supplies) would be a reasonable response. Adding a pair at the washer hoses is a DIY friendly exercise, available as an inline 'T' that has dual hose threads.. no soldering. (though I LIKE soldering)

comment Will I lose water pressure going from a 2“ pipe to a 1/2” pipe then back to 2"?
I get the physics, its the economics that I'm not following. It would really help to understand his energy source. I'm guessing solar collector.

A radiator is designed to give up heat to air, you'd have to envelope the radiator in a larger container to GAIN heat.. seems messy

comment How can I wire a GFCI receptacle and a combination switch/receptacle device?
A third wire should be present from the incoming line. A bare copper wire wire should be connected to both the GFCI and the switch/outlet green (ground) terminals.

comment Increasing Amps
Sounds like a portable generator is in your future. Perhaps a rental would make more sense initially.
