You are a "slave to the grind". "What I don't like is when some "engineer" gets online and starts to ask questions, expecting correct answers from competent, knowledgeable, professionals and then gets pissy when we defend a bill he gets a bill from a local guy who he is trying to "coach" with...

CODB=cost of doing business. Clients don't want to hear you complain about your overhead and justify your EXORBITANT rates. Pay your rig off by diverting more toward capital investiture rather than blowing that FAT CT cash. You guys, in this trade, do some mighty complaining. Work is...

Hey TW... You got a "thang" for me? You keep following me from "Pumps and Tanks" to here(you locked my thread, and threw in an insult, over there as an admin at P and T) and keep trolling me. I was being "self-effacing" towards Craig-something you know nothing of. Knock it off as you are...

Thanks Valveman! Regretting not buying that psidekick every day. In my next home one will go! Regards....G

Porky... Tell me about it. Continuing education down here in SW SC is locating the lowest cost per case for Bud Lite...LOL

Flexcon Burial.... Thanks for the Info! I noticed the rusted out WX 250UG was in at about a 30 degree angle. Whats the concept behind the burying at an angle? I will have to find a 45 degree 1" SCH 80 FPT x 1" pvc fitting to compensate for the side discharge, IF I mounted the tank level...

That's the way to do it! Wow....thats the way to "roll" with no "down time" by having everything you might need on the job. That concept escaped me as in SC we have the "two guys in a pick up with three wheels"-uncontrolled chaos amongst most of the trades down here as to why I still can not...

Valveman.... Here's Amtrol's video...Looks like a WX-200/202. From 1:50 to 4:00 the polypropylene liner sits on the bottom of the tank with a butyl diaphragm that is sealed to the polypropylene liner with their "hoopgrooving" machine that bands the two together...

Driller chose the tank.... OK..that's not what I asked..LOL Not an option due to covenants(fence, shed) in this Golf Course Community. Plus why build a shed/fence when I could of just got an AMTROL 200UG for less than a FL7? My driller only uses Flexcon Flexlite FL"x"'s now for burial...

Got the Cycle Sensor...THANKS! So what does this illustration indicate? The CAD2 design looks like the bladder is mounted a 1/4 of the way up from the bottom of the tank? http://www.flexconind.com/pdf/fl_features.pdf Thanks....G

Agreed! VA.... I agree 100 per cent with you on using a setup like the pside-kick (TM) that CSV designed but my driller would not even consider it-hence the monster 44gallon WX250UG dead in the ground. The counterintuitive concept of smaller tanks w/CSV's won't set in with some people. I had...

Have a new Flexcon Flexlite FL7 (16" x 34") that the factory says must be installed vertical; driller wants to place it horizontal. It will be in constant pressure as it is being used with a new CSV1A w/a 40/60. http://www.flexconind.com/pdf/fl_features.pdf This is to be buried and is...

All that Lead..... HJ..... That's interesting info as Merrill tries to push their Sintered Bronze as the No Lead Tank Tee/Cross option to ~3% leaded Bronze. Is CA the only state that mandates No Lead and whats the impact of all the leaded bronze tank tees/crosses found in potable setups...

Thanks for the info Valveman! My pump installer(the original guy) refuses to install 3 wire pumps. As there are a lot of things he refuses to based on the "his way or the highway" adage. This is what we face down here. This is why I have been held in a state of "limbo" as if you use a...

Difference between the 15GPM 1.5HP J Triseal Sandhandler and the Series V? Thanks for the info! Why the J "V" vs the Triseal....Is there a big difference? The J series catalog does not indicate anything I can discern between the Triseal and the Series V. I really appreciate the info...

Not an option......Whole assembly is going back to Grundfos to refund my $$. Have you installed any Franklin J/V class submersibles? Thanks...Greg

Which of these pumps would you select Here are my options at 60 PSI using a 2W 230 1.5HP at 180' static level Well Data... Grundfos 16s1514 1.5HP 2W230-DEAD............. 4" ID PVC Casing in sandy soil Well Depth......220" Screen Interval....200-220' Pump depth...180'...

Motor brand moot compared to pump design? What caught my eye was this particular statement from "Pump Horsepower Characteristics". "Along with the style of impeller, the design of the pump can also affect efficiency at low flow. Submersible pumps can have floating stack or fixed stack...

As a "self professed" DIY'er I certainly have learned alot from this forum and especially Valveman. I have one of his awesome CSV2W's and have read much of the info on the site-impressive. Being that the CSV has outlived 2 pumps in 12 years( 1st 11yrs and 2nd 1yr) I have spent probably 30...

Grueling is when you have to Manually have to dig 2 100 cubic foot "mud pits" by hand in rock hard ground and then hand mix 700+ gallons of bentonite/h20 drilling fluid-more on this job as we hit an underground river; lost our drill fluid 2x and this is not the "easy" Rotary Air method you...
