I agree that there is probably a problem with your well. Either the casing is not sealed properly or there is a clay or shale seam in the rock that is causing the discolored water. The only we to...

Try a new switch. Buy one that is already set for 40-60. It will save you a lot of headache. Buy a Square D and then most anyone here can help you adjust it if needed.

From my experience with wells like this there is no problem. The water won't freeze. You may ask why is that. Water is most dense about about 7 degrees above freezing. When the water in the top...

To get back to one of the earlier questions. It will not hurt the pump to turn up the pressure of the water system. This is the same principal the cycle stop valve works on. No harm to the pump it...

It sounds as if your pump is plugged with rust. The passages may be filled and not able to pump enough head to pump when the water level drops. The other possibility is the impellers are broken.

Redevelopment can be a major undertaking depending on the water level, depth, casing size.

The easiest way is to air lift the well. Sometime this is called blowing the well. The pump must be...

The body of the pitlessunit is 12" and has a connection to fit your well.

I am from Nebraska and we are currently up to a balmy 20. The Pitless Control Modules have operated at -20 with out...

I think it was State. They tried their glass lined tanks and they didn't work so thay tried galvanized and it didn't work. They must have been trying to get around Well-x-trol's patent on the...

Keep it running. When it gets clear then set the flow so the pump will cycle. This will remove additional rust and sand. If the sand gets real bad then you may be able to shorten your drop pipe...

I make a pitless unit that is purfect for this use. The pressure tank and controls fit in the pitless unit. You can install a yard hydrant next to the well and install an underground stop and waste...

An 1 1/4" line may supply 32 gpm if the line is short. Your restriction will be the 1" inch meter and 1" if the line to your house is short most of your restriction will be in the meter.

Plan on...

Keep pumping the well. The sand content should become less. If the sand content goes way down, stop and start the pump a few times. This is called development and the fine sand around the well is...

Give the guy a break. By the way they did make a galvanized bladder tank back in the seventies.

The green sand filter work good. If you get one of them get what is called a pot feeder. You put...

You need to determine what your pressure setting is. If the pressure switch has not been changed then you can read off of the switch cover. The pressure should be 2-5 psi below the pressure you...

Rancher,

Volume is the thickness of the impellers. Pressure is the result of more stages or impellers.

You need to be more specific. Do you get 5 gpm at 40 psi. Or do you...

Your WX-201 tank has a drawdown of 4.8 gallons on a 30-50 psi system. Since the pump turns on after 30 minutes you have a leak of 0.16 gpm. This is not a very big leak. Have you checked toilets...

I just saw your long saga dealing with your well. Since your problem started all at once after the well was in for several years the problem is probably the galvanizing on your well casing is gone....

I am not sure how to reconnect your plumbing properly, but maybe I can help on your smell problem. If you have no smell in the cold but you do in your hot then the water heater is causing sulfate in...

You need to determine if the pump is shutting its self off on the overload or if the pump is sucking air. If the pump is shuting itself off on the overload there is something wrong with the pump of...

Sorry, it the lime process not sime.

The EPA has a limit of 10 I believe. It the city water is softened they use the sime process and this raises the pH above 11 and then the city has to bring it back down. 8 is fine.

Chlorimines...

You need to determine if you have a two or three wire pump. There will be two wires at the pressure switch. The wires then go to a control box on a three wire pump. There will then be three or...

Grundfos uses this design for their solar pumps as it is positive displacement and will pump when it is cloudy and the motor runs slow off of the solar panels. Aermotor use to make one years ago. I...

The pump is a "Grundflos SQFlex-11 helical pump". I believe this is a positive displacement pump and should not be used with a Cycle Stop Valve or it may damage the pump or piping.

A Cycle Stop...

One of the quitest pumps on the market is made by Grundfos. It is water cooled so there is no fan noise. Grundfos is a good pump. It will cost more than a pump purchased at a big box store.
