    Is a shallow sewer line grandfathered in for a remodel in Ca.?

    Hello, new to the forum. Have gone through the permitting process and have started demo on a 38' by 34' RV garage in the back yard to convert to an ADU with a kitchen and relocated bath room, built and permitted with the house in 1983.

    Old well, should the water be so low?

    I'm about to close on a piece of property that has an old well on it. The well head is 6 7/8" on the outside. I'm hoping to install a DIY pump jack/piston pump to move water for gardening and during construction (maybe an off-grid back up). I dropped a plumb bob down the well and hit water at...

    Serious back pressure to the well

    Ok, I Live in Florida. The pump is in a shed. I have lots of pressure before check valve at the well. It will blast water at the connector (see picture).

    Shallow Water Well overflowing?

    I am purchasing a new home and found this concern. In the front yard is the 24"Diameter well casing about foot tall. Has a cement 80lb cement lid. Water is flowing over the edge as seen in photo. This appears to have been flowing for many years. Algae has formed on side of well in the flowing...

    Old style well not pressurizing, trouble getting water

    So let me start from the beginning and get out everything I can tell you about this. Sorry if it gets long but I want to be complete as possible. So I have a 200 year old house. The well is probably nearly as old, hand dug, and rock lined. I wish I could tell you exactly how deep it is, and I...

    New to Forum

    Hi guys, Wish I found this forum a while ago. Not only could I have used some help installing my Bison pump, but I also have solar and geothermal. Nevertheless, we are moving and I have posted the shallow well Bison 2-piece hand pump for sale on eBay - it is new and unused, since I couldn't...
