Reversing means flipping it end for end, so what was at the bottom is now at the top. We are talking about the section of wire that is down the hole.

It is fairly common to reverse the wire after pulling the pump. By reverse, I mean top to bottom. The new pump may be moving more GPM than the...

You could use a round shower curtain same as what you'd use on a clawfoot tub.

If his spun filter is removing the iron, does it not mean that it is ferric? I thought it was ferrous iron that was difficult to remove if the pH is...

Probably there was a large in-rush when the system was turned back on which churned up enough sediment/crud that it got into the valve and is now...

Most pump men follow the AIM manual rather than the NEC. http://www.franklin-electric.com/aim-manual/page-11.aspx

Maybe try running an 8 foot 2x4 down between the pull pipe and casing. Tether it off so there's no chance of losing it down the hole. Problem is...

I made the mistake of actually believing that and ended up with a real problem. I had to remove the faucet and make up a poultice to draw out the...

I think this is what you are dealing with. It does have a cam that is supposed to help it retract but it does not do much.

Actually the crow's foot style pushes a male appendage into a female receiver. It cannot be lifted off as valveman said. I know, I have that style....

The specs say the pressure range is 25 to 75 PSI and I think most drip systems should be run below 25 PSI. I use soaker hoses with 25 PSI...

They should make a four-person version modeled after the railway cart and get the whole family in on it.

I take it factory bullnose is not available? Porcelain tile usually has the same color going all the way through it, albeit the pattern on the...

It really depends what is in the bottom of the well. If the packer leathers are still sealed to the casing, then all the water will be drawn through...

Yes, the centrifugal weights with the springs cause the switch to toggle from start to run. When the motor stops, it's supposed to switch back to...

Sounds like the centrifugal start/run switch.

That is a principle known as temperature stacking. You don't actually get more hot water, you get hotter water so use less of it.

BobL, Do you realize you are replying to a post from 2007? If the OP has figured it out by now, I doubt he ever will.

What is the pump hung on? My guess is PVC and a near-meltdown softened and deformed it to the point you now have a leak near the pump. The topside...

Well.. you get about .43 PSI per foot of elevation so raising the tank about 100 feet should do it.

Well... I am assuming you have an angle stop. It is the shutoff at the wall under the sink. The old-style with washer can sometimes stick to the...

Two other possibilities... sediment got stirred up and lodged in the cartridge or the angle stop. The angle stop may not have re-opened fully.

Did you shut down the water for the whole house to change it. If so, you may have stirred up some sediment and have a sticky heat trap in the HWT. ...

That is to be expected if the supply lines are the limiting factor. When running a mix of hot and cold, both lines are supplying water.

No kidding, and not even related. The OP had a hollow concrete block to go through, not 10 inches of solid concrete. Even so, some of the advice...

Perhaps the water evaporated from the trap if the tub doesn't get used. Perhaps there is bacteria present causing the smell.

Did the pump have a shroud? Often a shroud is used on a pump inside a tank to keep it from sucking air. The sound you describe is what one might...

Yes, at the end of the line is where they do the most good. Water cannot be compressed so consider the line of water as being a mass with inertia. ...
