Hi, so I want to repair a couple leaks at my brothers house which is a somewhat older ranch. Its at the sink & below- in the basement. Seems its mixed sizing from 1/2" & a smaller size(3/8")? I never even knew they had such a size in pipe..not tubing. all the copper was brush painted to years ago?

In a week we had 15" or more of snow, then a quick thaw to continuous rain, then an ice storm WTF! My Liberty 1/2hp sub was overwhelmed and when I got up at 7:30 it was 3" deep and at 10:30 the pump finally caught up and cycled...So anyways, it sat for 6 days then a rapid cleanout. We then...

Hi & Happy Holidays! I installed a new 40gal 9yr GE (rheem) electric tank exactly 2 mos ago. Our water has recently(3-4 wks) been getting nasty with an ubtrusive sulpher smell, so I called rheem & she said "well system? add a chlorinator". I asked about a "different" anode rod & she said an...

My son's house water is bad, its an old farmhouse. It has a new chlorinator? well pump, hot water tank and a huge wellmate "holding tank"? and an old looking softener type deal tank with a big valve on top but there is no salt tank??? It is a hydroflo devive-blue tank? Can anyone shed some light...

2 weeks ago I drained HW tank and flushed repeatedly to remove all the anode rod junk (15x) I installed an anode rod. I also drained bladder tank and installed a new inline cartridge(12") and the water has been great! My shutoffs were somewhat seized from age/gunk? and I loosened the nuts to get...

Hi, got a softener and a small 10-12" filter using the carbon cartridges. Sears has a 3' floor job on sale for 200.00 which is carbon too and supposed to last 10 yrs.?? I've had descent luck with their softeners for 25 yrs.

This seems my only way..I do plan to clamp after I get a base pedestal built

I want to change appliances placement to pic shown and wondering best/easiest way to do? I will need to run everything to standpipe but not sure of correct method? Soon I imagine I will build some pedestals to raise machines up approx. 15" as well. Washer is on left, dryer has a steam water...

Hi, I've always had a 2"x12" cartridge filter, actually 2, 1 between psi tank & softener and 1 after softener but I stopped using the after softener one a month or 2 ago to help psi. Anyways..the cartridge keeps getting fouled/plugged-lasts maybe a month! whats going on? I thought I read someone...

It seems more apparent on non metal materials and after going thru the dishwasher? The silverware doesnt shine as well either. I just put the Kenmore Softener in within the past 6 mos. It seemed to develop after I replaced my diaphram tank setup a few weeks ago. I checked & cleaned the venturi...

I went ahead and renewed my diaphragm tank and plumbing for preventative maintainance. I put in a Gould v100s 32 gal short and fat tank which replaced my Gould v60 19.6 gal tank. psi switch set at 34/54, I also removed my charcoal whole house filter. Everything seemed really great! A week or so...

I have a 1"check valve on my tank tee, the Plastic Elbow thet screws into it and then slides into the 1-1/4" plastic tubing/pipe from my well. It appears this elbow has a very slight leak so I was thinking when I reseal the threads, maybe I should put a brass one in-I also could use an extra...

I'll be replacing my Tee this week. I had used pipe joint compound(Ace hardware brand in tube) which is leaking? I've since picked up a can of Rector-seal 5 (slow-dry/soft set) and a roll of "blue monster" teflon tape for final repair. tank and elbow are new as well. Other than the tube compound...

Solved:advice on fixing diverter valve Solved: Hi, The small push/pull lever? for sending water to shower head, is that called a diverter valve? Anyways ours leaks into the tub and is stuck/seized for years now since we only use the shower now. I assume I will have to shut off water?, remove...

any common names? I read oil filled is better but what about accuracy? I believe its 1/4"

It's a Campbell PG1T (9.00) on my well tank Tee. I believe it reads 10psi over...pos!lol when gauge reads 50psi my reading at new tank is 40psi. Do I need to go and get a $30.00? oil filled gauge for an accurate and trusty gauge? TIA!

Square D with lever, has 2 posts for adjustment, the center proudest stud for Range"turn nut down for higher cut-in, or up for lower cut-in. I thought this one is for raising overall pressure?? lower stud off to side is Differential "turn nut down for higher cut-out pressure or up(loosen) for...

Looks like they gave me the wrong Tank cross/Tee:mad: After looking at receipt, they didn't charge me either:confused::p Either I pull it apart and get another Tee(if even available?) or is there a workaround? Oh, I forgot to mention, this is a 10" & this 22" tank must take a 13" Tee. Of course...

Got a new Goulds HPro v100s (32g) to replace a Goulds v60 (20g). I ended up getting all the little goodies as well except relief valve, my old setup didn't have one either. Also, do you all use pipe dope and teflon tape on all threads? Thanks...:)

20/40,30/50 & 40/60? Gould precharge on all its tanks are 38psi meaning a 40/60 switch and I suppose if using a 30/50 you would have to drain precharge down to 28psi correct?
