    Grey Water Drain Venting

    Hello everyone, I just purchased a park model trailer with no holding tanks that I am using as a cottage on a remote property. The plumbing drainage that came in the trailer is this: 1.5" drain pipes coming from the kitchen sink (long run under the trailer to the bathroom at the back of the...

    Convertible Jet Pump Questions

    That is definitely a future project; not a big fan of the jet pump. I asked earlier though, if my well record shows recommended pump rate "4.5GPM" and I put a high flow pump in there, is there risk of pumping water faster than the casing could refill? Reason I ask is every "good quality...

    Convertible Jet Pump Questions

    I'm not sure how big my well casing is but I do know it's got the 2 pipes from the jet pump going in there with lots of room around them. No matter which faucet I use - even at full flow - the pump builds to 50psi no problem. I suspect I have another issue in my piping somewhere because I...

    Convertible Jet Pump Questions

    Also, am I correct in assuming that the pressure and flow in the house is mainly affected by the pressure tank and pipes? Meaning, while the pump is not running and the water is coming from the pressure tank only (dropping from 50 to 30psi) the size and GPM of the pump would not have any...

    Convertible Jet Pump Questions

    Is there risk of over sizing a pump? Meaning, could I draw too fast and lose prime?

    Convertible Jet Pump Questions

    Thanks! I was also considering purchasing a cycle stop valve to stop the pressure swing. I did look at a better jet pump but was worried about pumping too fast from my well and making it go dry. My well records show a 4.5GPM flow and I see the Gould’s has over 10GPM’s. If I upgraded my pump...

    Convertible Jet Pump Questions

    Hello everyone, I am fed up with low pressure in my morning shower and want to change my pump settings. I currently have a Wayne 1/2hp convertible jet pump that is drawing from a 45 ft deep well. It is factory set for 30/50 and does not have an adjustable pressure switch. The pressure switch is...

    Very low pressure after replacing deep well jet pump and Venturi

    Hello everyone, came home from work on Monday to find my deep well jet pump running non-stop but not building pressure. Long story short is that the venturi assembly at the bottom of the well had blown out. Yesterday, replaced the venturi and the pump since I wasn't sure how long the old pump...

    Deep Well Jet Pump Amp Draw Seems High

    Thanks for the response. If I am running over 10amps, should I bother replacing the start cap or just get a new pump? Would there be a negative impact to upgrading to 1/2hp? Can I replace just the pump or do I need to also replace the hardware at the bottom of the well?

    Deep Well Jet Pump Amp Draw Seems High

    Hello everyone, I recently went through a power outage where I tried to run my 110 volt 1/3 hp convertible jet pump on my 3000 watt generator. When the pump tried to start, it ran slowly and smoke came out of the motor. It eventually got up to speed but since then it has the burnt smell when...
