Hello! We bought a house and moved in at the end of 2018. The previous owner has done 98% of the home build himself including all the plumbing and such. We are new to having a private well system. And lately we've noticed the well pump kicks on quite a bit. If we flush the toilet, it kicks...

I kept hearing the click of the switch every minute or so. I watched it for awhile and found it would switch on at 41 and off (arcs sometimes) at 60 (30 seconds). It loses pressure (takes a minute) until it switches on again. This goes on and on and on. There is no water running from any...

Hello, I have both public and well water. I just purchased the home and the water lines don't make sense. The public lines run into the home straight to the softener then out to the home. The well comes in and runs on the same pipes into the softener. I don't want the well running into the...

I've been investigating the winterizing requirements for a home sprinkler system. There are many articles referencing CFM and PSI. What seems to be often missing is how much CFM flow is required and what are the maximum and minimum PSI requirements. For 1" polyethylene main pipe 50 PSI seems to...

Hello All, I just moved into a house and noticed some pretty bad water pressure issues. Static pressure is 40psi, which while low should be OK. If I open a single tap however, it drops to a little under 20psi which leads me to believe it's a flow issue. I had the water authority check the...

To start off I have had a sediment problem since I bought my home 1.5 years ago. I have a filter after the pressure tank, before my water heater etc. I have to change filters frequently due to sediment filling the filter and canister. A few days ago I changed my filter but still had a poor...
