Thanks, there must be one built in to the pump, I will have to check.

No check valve and well pressure tank and pressure switch removed when storage tank and booster pump were installed. The scala 1 5-55 is not pressure adjustable as the scala 2 is. Wonder if I need to install a pressure reducing valve on the outlet side of the booster pump...

Hello all, Had a new electric water heat Installed with a 2.1 g te tank. We are on a well with a storage tank and a Scala 1 booser pump, pressure not adjustable. Hose bib max pressure is 82 psi. Te tank is pre charged at 40psi. Te tank instructions say the expansion tank should be...

They installed a 1" overflow pipe in case the float switch fails.

Thanks all for your help! One last thing, what are folks using for their overflow pipe (1" in case the float switch fails) to keep the critters out? One way check valve (on 1"pvc)? Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Another question, they have to use a rock saw to cut a 30' trench from the well head to where the tank will sit for the 2 plumbing pipes. Is it ok to use the fines from the cutting or fill with sand then use the finds? Rock is half of the length, rest is black clay. Thanks

Hello, I am looking for suggestions on protecting my son in laws street water shutoff, similar photo below. The previous owner added an area to park, a foot or so away from the shutoff in the grass. The top of the shutoff is a few inches below grade. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Hello All, I had 2 local well companies out to get an estimate on adding a 2500 gallon storage tank to our well. Company a says I will no longer need my approx, 50 gallon pressure tank with a constant pressure booster pump (pulls water from the storage tank to the house). Company b says that...

I do have s flex lines, thanks! Also, i am trying to do "Garys trick" and having a hard time judging the time ckose to the next regen cycle. I have the no. of days set to off, going by remaining gallons left. Last night auto regen went off at 160 gallons left, usually gets close to 0. Is...

Excellent information, I was generally speaking about my regen more often. We also have 1100 TDS, our area has terrible well water. Any other less expensive iron test kits? May only use it a few times. How would I get a water sample after the iron tank, remove or loosen a line coming off the...

Thanks, using 45lbs of salt per regen and capacity is set at 100.

Good morning, Looking for recommendations on what's the best setting for days to regen and resin longevity. Just 2 of us and normally use less than 75 gallons per day. Hard water, 120 at the well and 5 parts iron and high tds (central Texas). Have iron filter 12x52 and 16 x65 (4 cubes)...

Thanks for your help, so I would change the following setting according to your post to run the 2 regen'? Yes just 2 people in the household. How would I make sure that the proper amount of water is filling the brine tank? That was my original issue, after 2 regens on the old settings the...

----- Hardness is 120, I believe a year ago when it was tested it was 105 gpg, so they set the unit for 105. Softener is a 4 cuft unit (16" x 65") with about 3.5 cuft of media. Ironbuster is before the softener, I was told that the drip feeder adds and additional step that helps clean the media...

Water hardness coming out of the well is 120 GPG, the softener company wouldn't tell me what media is in the "iron buster" tank. They did install a res-up drip device in the brine tank to assist with the iron cleaning of the media. No chlorine injection (that helps with the iron correct). There...

Hello all, I live in Central Texas and have really hard water (105 GPG) and about 2 Iron. The softener company installed a 36" diameter brine tank, a tank that handles the iron (charcoal media I believe regen every 5 days) and a 16" by 65" softener tank I believe its a 4 cuft tank with 3.5...

He did but the threads on the well head were to far gone.

Good morning all, I recently moved into a home in Central Texas with a well and septic system. The steel well head plate had a small blue plastic cap inserted in one of the screw holes that I assume is an access/vent hole to the well head. The plastic cap has broken and I had the well company...
