Thank you. I am in 32807. Not sure how deep the well is. I have a vertical line that goes that around 18" and then there is a tee with horizonal lines going left and right. I am guessing those two lines lead to two well points down ever how many feet. I was able to dig down to the tee and...

I have a shallow well with a one line suction. I was digging around the lines today, the shovel lifted the pump and pipes and I heard a loud crack, like pvc. The pump is now losing prime and a couple of times the pressure has gone in and out, meaning strong to weak on different zones. If...

Thanks. So a suction leak or a bad check valve would cause water to disappear where the yellow arrow is in my new picture? This is below the inlet line. Does the water evaporate?

Fair enough. Can you help me understand what would cause water to disappear in the pump housing, below the suction line inlet?

Hello, I had a voltage issue with my prior motor so I just replaced it. I put in another 1.5 HP Flotec. On my prior pump I am guessing I was losing prime in my suction line because it would take 30-45 seconds for the pump to bring up water, but it always worked. With the new pump in place I...

I need to have a friend come over and check the voltage. For my own education, the pump is 6 years old, has been working fine and worked fine on the cycle right before this happened. what could have happened all of a sudden with the voltage? It does cycle on and off at least 3 times each time...

New capacitor didn't change anything

Thanks. The capacitor looks visually fine but I'm going to replace just to check.

After further review, it is humming for about 3 seconds and then the breaker trips. Could this still be the capacitor? It does get really hot after trying to start so I guess it is auto shutting down

Hello, I have a Flotec 1.5 HP for my well. This morning I watered the front yard fine and when I went to water the back the pump would not come on. There is no humming or anything. I waited 30 minutes and same thing. I did notice a little smell near the pump but can't say for sure that...

Centrfugal. I was able to prime it and it worked. Is that normal to all of a sudden have to prime?

Hi, I don’t have a lot of knowledge on pumps but here is my situation. I have a 1.5 hp pump on my well for my irrigation. It is coming on but no water is being pumped out. I have not noticed any significant issues recently and just watered two days earlier. Could it have lost prime? Is it...

Please see the attached picture of the hole on the bottom of this spout. Is the hole on the inside supposed to be for the Allen wrench because it looks like a perfectly round hole?

Hello, our bath tub is probably over 30 years old. The bottom of the faucet has a 1/2 size or so hole that the previous owner partially plugged by rigging something to fit inside the hole. My first question would be do you know why there would be a whole under it? Second, what he did to plug...

Hello, I need to purchase a 1k or so mini split, maybe 9000 btu. I understand the market has been bombarded with a lot of cheap knockoffs from overseas. My wife just lost her job due to Covid 19 so my budget is limited. I don't have the dollars for a Mitsubishi or Fujitsu but I also don't...
