You really need to fix the problem, putting a check valve at the top of the well is just a band aid and eventually you will have to pull the footvalve and replace it. Usually that will be on...

$900.00 sounds like a very fair price to me

Well X Trol is the best

FloTek is a 6 letter word for junk. Buy a Goulds that will last 20 years and be done with it.

The green wire is a ground. To be code compliant, you need to put in new 3 conductor wire and bond the green wire to the casing, well cap and to the breaker panel in the house.

Another good reason not to use poly pipe. Just imagine 400' laying in the dirt, grass, dog crap and then being run back into the well....

Hate to be so upfront, but If you trust your plumber so...

I have had the best luck chlorinating by pumping the water level right down to the pump and then adding the chlorine. When the well recovers, the chlorine is then carried back into the structure...

1.5 gallons of water per foot in a 6" well

I think you're asking a lot of that trash pump

Yeah that can happen, it's hard to explain to the customer and even harder to charge for the rebedding of the neutralizer.

What happens when you put the neutralizer in bypass?

What did your plumber say about the pressure drop?

@ John, I know some plumbers that know their pump work. I wasnt demeaning plumbers at all.

I wonder are the tools he used on your water pump the same ones he uses for septic work? Hopefully he...

You mean the plumber didn't chlorinate the well when he was done?

Don't be surprised if the water turns rusty looking when you "shock" the well.

Cacher is right, it will go away, but it is difficult to predict how long it will take. Every well is different.

What happens is that when the water rises and falls during the wells usage,...

Everything is based on planned obsolescence.

We pulled a 1/2-10 3w Lancaster pump yesterday that was installed in 1981, what do you suppose the chances of the Franklin lasting that long are?

We routinely see WX series tanks over 18 yrs old. That's proof enough for me.

Pump made in India? That sounds like a tech support nightmare waiting to happen.

Go with the Grundfos, proven reliability and established dealer network.

The problem with a filter in the house is it does absolutely nothing to keep the sand out of the pump. Sand going through the pump will eat up the pump pretty quickly.

I like the Lakos separator...

It's probably leaking from the shaft seal. You might be able to order one and if you're handy install it or find someone who can.

Unscrew the tank, the large grey unit on top of the pump, fill the lines and pump with water, put the tank back on, close the valve with the red handle and then turn the pump on. When the pressure...

Valveman, the ones that we have replaced have all had ruptured diaphragms. The few hundred dollars saved on the initial installation proved to be a false economy. The only Amtrol tank we will install...

There is a big difference between the Water Worker and the WX series. The Water Worker and the WP series contractor tanks do not have the same heavy gauge diaphram as the WX series. The new WX...

I think Sta Rite makes Shur Dri along with FloTek and Sears tanks. The ones I have seen have 100psi bladders and honestly aren't much good.

The Well X Trol is in my opinion the best tank...

I would try a new control box first especially if the pump was working against an old water logged tank. Don't be surprised if the pump is shot too, short cycling can kill a pump motor pretty quickly.
