So long story short my father in law is moving into an in law suite in part of my home, he's pretty good except on occasion at his old apartment he would leave the sink on, filling it to wash dishes and it would overflow. So my plan is no drain plug, and I would like to find a faucet that...

I have it finished works well, can't even notice the switch over. I would like to share photos but it says the file is too large, I am not good with computers. If I email them to someone could you upload them? Thanks

I plumbed my lines to and from the tank, kept the isolation valves closed, but when I added check valve 'D' in the diagram at the well pump, it's messing with my CSV, the check valves are fighting each other? I loosen the screw on the CSV open my laundry sink, pressure switch kicks the pump on...

It's just a 300 gal tank. Fits through doorways, so I was able to get it in my pump room in my basement. The pump is just a cheaper 120v Hallmark pump. It's very accessible and I got a great deal on it, brand new. If I have issues I'll upgrade it once I know the booster tank is working properly...

Well I'm well on my way, storage tank In place, got all my wrisbo fittings and pipe, solenoid, check valve, built my flow indcuer since I'm putting a submersible in my storage tank. etc and most important my CSV came in today, so after work I got all my fittings assembled. I'll post an update...

Yes I know, my display always tells me gallons left until next regen, and i usually check in the mornings. I'm unsure exactly how much it uses during a regen, a good amount.

I am in the process of setting it up like this. I got a submersible, I'll build a flow indcuer like what's in my well. I'll put this in my basement storage tank (300gal). I have the fill float and the solenoid, I'm going to use an intermatic din rail timer to fill the tank for 1-5 minutes per...

Hi. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. My 300gal storage tank is large enough I could setup a submersible on a flow indcuer and just drop it in the tank to get the system setup and working, and in the future when I do dig and put in an outdoor cistern I could just transfer the pump to that...

I was going to install a grundfos MQ but haven't purchased anything yet. I may just wait and dig for a 3000 gal cistern in the spring. That way I can put a submersible in it like I did in my well as you mentioned. Your drawings I'm interested to see, the submersible, plus another CSV, setup...

Last summer I successfully ditched my old 2 line jet pump and replaced it with a submersible in a flow indcuer, added a CSV and a cycle sensor. The system works flawless, no more noisy pump, and constant pressure. Its in a 30" bored well. About 55 feet deep, at the time static water was at 49...

I got a lot of the ideas from here, and a local concrete and pipe supplier who stocks pumps, fittings, tanks and everything else. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. My flow inducer is actually sdr 26, its got a larger ID then sdr 36 (only by 1/8), so slightly easier to keep the pump...

Thought I would share. Flow inducer I built, trenched and buried new poly and power. Did a csv and new tank, plus a csv monitor. Nice and quiet, more efficient I'm thinking then my old 2 line jet. I wrapped the exposed steel to poly connection in blue skin after the leak test. I held the pit...

I got the flow inducer made. Its sdr 26, has 3 centering bolts on the bottom, and a plastic well cap. The T will help prevent it from sucking 'upwards' sediment (if any). Then a stainless nipple and secondary check valve. I got a new trench 5ft deep dug with my mini ex to the well from the...

A few years ago my foot valve or piping on my 2 line jet starting leaking, in itself will only hold 15psi, so I put a check between the pump feed and the pressure switch, keeps my house/tank up to pressure but the pump drop lines pressure quickly drop to 12-15psi or so. Been working flawless...

It comes with experience, how far away is the 9" obstacle, sometimes when a conduit leave a the box it makes an offset in a few feet say off the wall into a beam, and its easier to bend, line it up in place and mark where the centre of the box offset is, otherwise you can't always get it in the...

thanks, schedule 80 pvc would be better, as it would be rigid, I assume the poly stuff has memory and is going to spiral all over the place in a 30" bore. I do have a rigid threader, so I could probably buy 10 foot pre threaded pieces then only have to thread one end for the final height...

with a flow inducer on the bottom, there wouldn't be the full weight of a pump and line hanging off the pitless, so I don't know if the pit less required downward pull to seal, of if as long as its engaged and the weight of my flow inducer/pump provides a slight downward pull that it will still...

ok. So maybe at the top of the well i could tapcon a small D ring to the wall of the casing, so I can adjust my guy wire tension to give good downward weight on the poly line to keep the pitless tight once the unit is on the well, and I can crimp it and hook to the d ring. I could even set it...

hi thanks for the reply. If I build a flow inducer set the pump on the bottom of my well use a well cap on the flow inducer and have the open end 90 up about 2 or 3 feet to prevent the pump from sucking any sand etc from the bottom how do I keep the pitless 'locked in' since the pump is on the...

So I have a 30" precast lined dug well. Its about 55 feet deep, and there's 12 feet of water in it. I just measured, its been a very dry year. Regardless the well provides us with clean water. I'm tired of listening to the 2 line jet pump, and I'm considering having my father in law move in. I...
