    Clear water after well flush, orange next day

    Unless you have galvanized plumbing your getting rust every day from your aquafer, it is acting as a filter catching iron particles in the area of your well pipe. Your well casing is steel, it will not oxidize enough to produce rust noticeable in a day or week, especially with your length of...

    Not a good well water test

    STERILENE =SODIUM DICHLORO-S-TRIAZINETRIONE DIHYDRATE, which is the ingredient of many pool shock products. Page 2 of the SDS https://docs.jetlube.com/documents/SDS+-+Central+Repository-/SDS%27s+REPOSITORY/United+States/English/Jet-Lube/STERILENE%C2%AE_SDS_US_EN.pdf Source for this...

    Well Filtration for Two Houses, High Iron and Other

    Skip the chlorine injection, it is not needed, as it will only oxidize the ferrous iron to ferric iron and not affect the ferric iron at all; your major problem is the ferric iron. A large pre-filter such as the Pentair mention is needed; at 25ppm a large settling tank would definitely help but...

    Well Filtration for Two Houses, High Iron and Other

    Trouble with aerating water to drop iron out of it is two fold. Iron is in two forms in well water, ferric iron which is already oxidized and ferrous iron which precipitates when oxidized. Ferric iron is unaffected by adding oxidized water to a well, I would not recommend adding more iron to the...

    Well Pump / Small Leak - Pitless leak possible?

    "Since it appears that valve's handle is removed, at least there will be less potential for someone to close the valve without realizing the potential consequences." A full flow gate valve should be used instead of a ball valve if used before pressure tanks and after the pressure switch. If a...

    Will a grinder or reciprocating saw cut 1/8" thick steel well casing?

    Had a damaged 6" casing as above, but worse, from using a rental skidsteer which had no mirrors. Large Ridgid hex wrench (20") did absolutely nothing even with jumping my 226 lbs full weight on it. My torch equipment is not setup as I would have heated the areas to red hot before using the...

    Need pitless gasket.

    As an update to this thread Milby does not have this size L1 leather anymore for the discussed size, the L1 they now supply is much larger made by Campbell, as I found out the hard way. Must have called 25 places, and hit 15 hardware/plumbing stores, the leather seal as discussed is is history...

    Question about cycle sensor from CSV

    Thanks, I may need to disable it, but it has not recyle errored out in a few days since I divided the load over two transformers. This is where programmable logic control (PLC) knowledge would come in handy

    Question about cycle sensor from CSV

    The monitor is functioning as it should, it was my power anomalies which were causing the issue. Yes I may need to add a dual timer relay to the circuit to automatically reset the recycle message if it happens again, but I doubt it will, time will tell. If anyone is interest in a relay which...

    Question about cycle sensor from CSV

    "So, my question (to @Valveman or anyone else) is, what else could cause that rcycl lockout to occur?" Edited after the next few posts November 27 Had a recurring recycle issue only occurring in the early am hours. The utility companies manipulate power in the early am hours due to the...

    Though the thread is old someone else my be interested in my reply..... Talked to the well driller who installed my well in 1983, he could provide no information, his father was the installer who did not keep records. Yesterday I looked down my well, (the pitless adapter is 5 1/2 feet down) it...
