    Rest in Piece Terry

    Never heard of a blog. Didn’t know what a forum was. Then in 2006 a customer told me they were saying bad things about my product, and I should go to Terrylove.com and check out the forum. Needless to say, I was amazed at the misinformation that was being posted. Although I never met Terry...

    Hey guys. Don't know much about PEX. This is a 9 year old house and the PEX is split and leaking under the sink. Is this just one of those things, or did we get some bad pipe and need to replace all of it?

    Is 1.6 Gallons Enough for a Flush?

    I have always complained that I have to flush several times with the 1.6 gallon flushers. I got a new toilet that does really good with one flush. But I have been talking to some plumbers who say I need to keep flushing several times anyway. They say the 1.6 gallons is plenty to flush the...

    Most Efficient Open Loop Geo System

    A customer has a 45' deep well with a water level at 15'. The Geo system requires 8-15 GPM at 20 PSI. The house requires about 5 GPM at 50 PSI. Using the smallest pump that will deliver the flow required is the most efficient system. Also using a submersible with a good drop in horsepower at...

    How many people use CSV's and small tanks?

    Sulfur Eliminator

    Has anyone tried the "Sulfur Eliminator"? http://www.wellwaterstinks.com/ A customer told me about this and said it works great. It oxidizes in the well so a regular bladder tank can be used instead of the old hydro tank.

    DIY or Call a Professional?

    Pumps and wells can be very complicated subjects. Many people think a well is just a hole in the ground. The earth beneath our feet has always been a mystery. How deep is it to water? What kind of formations do we have to drill through to get to the water? How much water is down there...

    Cycle Stop Valve (Example)

    This is a very large pump system but, that makes it easy to see the details. This system was installed in Marion County Florida. A 4" CSV and the 80 gallon bladder tank replaced a 12,000 gallon pressure tank. The pressure recording chart shows that the five days before the CSV was installed...

    Pressure Tank Maintenance

    Since this question gets ask so often. I thought I would start a thread on how to check the air in a pressure tank. If your pump kicks "on and off rapidly", water pressure in the house is not good, lights in the house "flicker" when water is being used, breaker trips occasionally, or you just...
