pump

I'm looking at the cap to my well trying to figure out how to remove the cap. I need to determine pump depth, and static water level. It looks like a bolt has been modified to allow water line to extend from the top of the cap. 1. is there a way to remove the modified bolt at the pvc pipe...

Worked fine for aboutr 10 years, then stopped delivering water. Any thoughts anyone?

I installed the pictured slip coupling on this vertical section of pipe. Apparently, I didn't get it quite right because it's leaking. I primed both sides of the pipe, the full inside of the the coupling, applied solvent to all those areas, then slipped the coupling down over the bottom pipe...

Our old pump is wearing out and won't build enough pressure to shut off, so it needs to be replaced. I would like to get more pressure than we have currently. My husband is deployed, his brother is willing to change the pump but doesn't know enough about them to recommend which one to get...

I need 18,000 gallons of water to fill my pool. The well that services my home cannot support this demand. We have a never-used deep well (321') on the property that has water in it. This well is approx 200' from the pool. Is there a pump that can be used for this application? Any suggestions?

Hi folks, Is it safe to put a 1" water meter between the output of a well pump and the pressure tank? Are there any dangers of pipe-shattering explosions if the meter gets jammed? If it matters, the meter is DAE-MJ100 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IZ6S1VU), rated for 150psi and has...

Hello! I'm hoping that someone here might be able to answer my question. Basically, I have been having intermittent issues with my septic system where the grinder pump will turn on, but it won't pump the water out of the septic tank and the water level will rise to the point it sets off the...

I've recently replaced my sprinkler system pump with a 1 HP shallow well pump from Harbor Freight. The pump turns on, runs and seems so far to maintain a prime. The problem is, it does not build any pressure; the pressure gauge stays at zero and only one sprinkler head runs. I also have an...

Hello, everyone. I read many pages so far this evening and would like to begin with some questions for guidance please. I have lived at my home for 3 years and I was told that there is a gravel well on my property. I have begun doing research this year to hopefully use the well to irrigate my...

We just installed an above ground tank because the inground water tank has a leak. We installed shutoff valves, so the tenants could decide if they wanted to use the above tank or the inground tank (when it's fixed). Whenever the above tank is used solely (the ground tank valve is closed), the...

Relatively newbie homeowner of an older 70s home with a pump and compressor tank and two hoses (one large, one smaller) that go down to the well. It's noisy, when the pump kicks in, sending out a high-pitched whining noise that can be heard on the 2nd floor. Not great water pressure and loud...

Hi, I recently (last week) moved in to a temporary new home with a well water system. I'm having issues with water pressure throughout the house and have watched countless videos on pressure tanks/switches/well systems and performed basic upkeep maintenance but am still having pressure issues...

I have a jet pump connected to a small pressure tank that is used to irrigate the garden from rainwater cisterns. The system is set for 30/50 psi cut on/off. If I run the irrigation fully open, the demand seems to be about 300 gal/hour, so 5 gal/min. This causes the pump to run continuously as...

My Flotec 30 gallon tank's bladder went and the tank was rusty so I purchased a Wellmate Pentair WM-9, 30 gallon fiberglass tank. I decided to purchase a new pump as well, seeing my pump was used 11 years ago when I moved into the house. I bought a 1hp Eco-Flo EFCWJ10. I replaced the tank...

We live on the frozen tundra of Illinois. I have what I believe is a 220 pump 65 feet deep. Pump stopped 2 weeks ago. YEAH, wife is TICKED! A couple of days after transferring power to another breaker. Pump ran fine, then stopped. The pump isn't the problem, as I can run it with a generator...

Hey everyone! I'm a long-time lurker (typically when sitting on my kitchen counter by the sink with my laptop and wet socks) and some of your posts have been the difference between keeping and selling my house. I bought what I thought was just a fixer-upper about 18 months ago...it's should've...

I have had a submersible pump on an artesian well. The pump burnt out and we have been running on just artesian power. We still have a good pressure tank etc. from the old system. I was wanting to install an on demand pump for taking showers etc. Would it be possible to tap into the line near...

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...
