Ok I will look to replace the relief valve - if they fail do they normal fail closed or open

F - not sure if there is tar will have to check however there is water so i'm not sure if it is leaking or since E is a pressure relief valve would it kick on when things like sprinklers and such shut off because of the check valve to prevent water hammer? I will review the write-up. The...

Here is the way the well setup looks

yes the well top is 10 inch above ground and I do see a bit of wetness around the top - not sure on how deep the well is but it not a top side pump that is bringing up the water

I will find out what the media is but yes it removes the sulphur/sulfur smell - thanks for the links Reach4 and Dittohead

Sulfur block - http://www.affordablewater.biz/sulfur-block-water-treatment-system it was already installed at the house when I bought it and had the media recently changed out. the sample was from a faucet that is attached inline about a foot from the outside well head so the positive test for...

Currently I have a sulfur block regenerating filter and installing a new Fleck 5812 3 cf water softener and a Fleck 5812 Carbon Filter 3 cf. Does any one have any experience with a UV light system or a Ozone system for killing bacteria instead of chlorine or any other suggestions that should...

yes replacing the 1.5 cuft softener and fleck 5600 head with a 2.5 fleck and 5812 head - I'll check on the injector to see the sizing the house is 3 bath with an additional bath in the detached studio guest house

Currently I have a 10x54 tank installed with a Fleck 5600 head for a water softener with 1.5 cf resin going to a 13x54 tank with a Fleck 5812 head with 2.5/3 cf resin - in order regenerate would there be any issue during the regeneration process with the larger tank as far as the amount of resin...

Thank you I will check into the Fleck 5810 SXT and using Hydrogen peroxide

Cary - thanks for the info on the pumps wasn't sure on the 3 gpm and didn't want to add the CSV to the line if it was the bad designed pump. Well driller/pump installer coming out next week to see what pump actually is there from his sales information but based on your info I'll get things...

I have a kit from karlabs coming to test the water at the well spigot - I think it is a 1hp pump I tracked down the well driller/pump installer and he is coming out next week will see if I can find out full specs on the pump - I plan on adding in a chlorine injector system with retention tank...

Thank you Reach4 for the updated Information - I will check with the local place that has the sticker on the tank to see if I can find out the type of media used - not sure if they did the install because of the out of order placement. I will get things painted and put up a awning to help...

Thank you for the quick response - I would rather not use the Scala pump - and I probably would be replacing the 62 gallon tank with the 10 gallon tank that is an option for the sidekick. I'll have to pick up a water spigot gauge to test the actual psi coming from the pump - just trying to get...

I looking into getting the Custom PK1A PSIDE-KICK Kit - 10 gallon Valve setting: 70 I currently have a 62 gallon tank on a well with a 1hp pump with 1 inch piping - right now the pressure switch is reading 55 psi would getting the csv with a setting of 70 psi help with the pressure drop...
