    What is the dosage of Chlorine Dioxide for flashing a water system?

    Cl2 is around 4ppm, what's the method of dosage and quantity for ClO2? It's for Washington state, if you're local we'd like to hire you.

    Getting rid of coliform contamination.

    Hello everyone, We're in northern Washington, our 77 house well distribution is contaminated with coliform, has been since August. From the pumps there is no contaminant, fortunately, one of our 2 concrete reservoir is contaminated. The network is positive for coliform at each sample points. 4...

    Chronic community pump failure

    Thanks @valveman and @Reach4, I understand now. It is very ingenious and elegantly low tech. Why then is it not standard?

    Chronic community pump failure

    How does it varry the flow to match demand?! Sounds like the sort of magic I want to learn :)

    Chronic community pump failure

    So it is a servo motor driving a valve, doesnt that move or add a failure point?

    Chronic community pump failure

    CSV varries flow and keeps RPM, VFD varries RPM. how does CSV varry flow? doesnt lowering flow increase pressure and put more stress on pump what else is required when installing CSV? can traditional on/off coexist with CSV (if we want to test CSV with non CSV fallback)

    Chronic community pump failure

    thanks. CSV varies pump flow instead of the traditional binary hammering. This makes much more sense. Now what is the difference between a CSV and a VFD? Do normal pumps handle varrying amp? And which piece of equiment carries the amps in a CSV system?

    Chronic community pump failure

    Thanks for the recommendation. You designed CSV ? Can you explain how CSV, VFD and regular pressure switch work and tell me more about their impact on performance and lifetime? Also what is a pump' discharge?

    Chronic community pump failure

    I don't know so here is how i saw it work: pressure tank psi drops below the min threshold -> current goes through a switch that alternates between pumps -> first small relay closes -> which closes another large relay -> which kick starts the booster pump. The kick start is brutal.

    Chronic community pump failure

    Hello evryone, I live in a community that lives off a well that produces 55 gpm+, about 70 house. For years now water shuts off, pumps get fixed and water turn brown now and then. The system is made of a 350' well, 2 large reservoirs with min max sensors which shut off booster pumps if out of...
