pump

My Mom has a 1/2 HP Everbilt MBA050BC submersible sump and I discovered the breaker to the sump had tripped. When I put the breaker on, the pump was buzzing/humming as if it was jammed. Now we had a dry spell here and the pump was inactive for 4-5 months which is probably why it seized, and it's...

Hello, I'm 23 and I'm a very new homeowner and honestly don't know very much on that regard, especially with plumbing, I recently moved into a trailer home with a shallow well, in which a Burcam jet pump is being used as the actual well pump for our well, so there's no pressure tank or pressure...

Background: I installed 1hp Flotec jet pump and Amtrol WX-202 (20 gallon) pressure tank October 2023. Pressure switch set to 30-50 and pressure tank pressure set to 28 psi when empty (first installed). The well has been in use since the house was built in 1975. I believe the foot valve has been...

I have 120 ft deep well, and pulling it is very heavy because the pipe is full of water. Is there a way to drain the water without removing the check valve the pump? This well is for irrigation only. I know this is a bit of a hack but I considered drilling a small hole at the bottom of the...

Is there a way to increase the pressure only to our toilet tank? Something that would simply be inline of the toilet tank supply line (between the shutoff valve next to the toilet and the toilet tank)? The cost of water, and the lack of problems with the dish and clothes washers means we aren't...

Hello and hope everyone is staying warm this winter! I have 2 Grundfos circ pumps (1 per zone) on an old Triangle Tube Prestige 110 boiler on a house we purchased relatively recently. One of the pumps appears to not be circulating as that zone is not warming. First I checked voltage to the...

Hi all. Basically I have a sewage basin and ejector pump in a basement. Currently I have just a sink that uses it. I'm now adding a full basement bathroom, which will be used by two people regularly. It is already stubbed in and connected to the tank. I'm kicking around moving laundry downstairs...

I've been experiencing low water pressure and flow. I started checking it over the last few weeks. Pressure fluctuates but it usually hovers between 12 and 24 PSI. Flow also fluctuates. The best I've measured is 1.5 GPM, but that's rare. It's been as low as almost 0.5 GPM at times. I let...

I have done a lot of searching for this issue, but none of the threads I can find seem to have this particular question I have 1 well, a small cabin 75 feet away, and my sometimes home is maybe 150 feet from the well, I would like to run the water lines to the houses so that I can have both...

I have appreciated the posts on this thread as I have planned my project. I live on a rural property that has a 30 foot dug well and a convertible jet pump that does a good job. However we run the risk of the well going dry in the summer. We also live 85 feet above a river that is down a...

I just replaced the shallow well pump with same Horse Power as the old one. For some reason the new pump is not able to build pressure over 10psi. It primes good. I've closed the valve to the irrigation system to isolate a possible line break issue but pressure does not go over 10psi and pumps...

I just finished a project at my first internship/co-op that involves making a pump system automated. Basically, the operator will type in the pressure setpoint, and a variety of devices will work together to increase the pump to pressure. The pump I am using is a Haskal 4b-14 pump. I have a...

Hello all, I have a river house that is lifted in the air that has a shallow well pump with a single 1.25" pipe going into the ground. The pump was around 20-25 feet above the water in the well. We recently lifted the house up about 6 or 7 feet higher in the air and found the pump was not...

Hello all, I am having problems with the water pressure in my house and am getting even more pressure from my wife to fix it. This is my first home with a well system and i dont have too much knowledge on plumbing and well systems. Your expert help would be greatly appreciated. When I turn on...

Thank you in advance for your assistance. New lake home and looking to accomplish the following: I have a red lion rl-sprk100 pump. I would like to suck water from the lake 20' away from the pump and about 5' below the pump to a spigot location 20' away from the pump and about 10' above the...

Hey All, I have two issues but gonna start out with my setup description. I am no plumber of course, I am a capable homeowner. I was quoted $4700 for an RO system for my home and decided that I could definitely build my own. So..... $900 later, whole house RO. Was doing great for the last 4...

I am replacing 30 yr old irrigation pump for my sprinkler system. Was a 1½hp Myers pump. Pump still running but think the body has just about rusted thru. I am looking at pumps in the $400 range and wondering if I should be looking at more expensive pumps but do not know what the advantage...

(1 day after installing new white sediment filter) After being out-of-town for a month, the well pump protection circuit kept tripping due to high load. After testing, the well pump resistance is normal, but the running pump's amperage varies 7--20A (after bypassing protection circuit). Also...

My goal is to have a designated pump for watering my plants from my well. I want to start with a garden hose, then eventually add drip lines and possibly sprinklers. I have a 4” free flowing artesian well. I have the 4” well teed off to 1-1/4” lines to house water system, to pond fountain (no...

Hi everyone. Looked all over the place for a diagram with a well setup that includes a sprinkler distribution line as well. This is our bathing and drinking water as well as irrigation. I have the well pump, check valve at the well head down pipe, outside the well , then a 10 foot run to a...
