pump

I currently have a Grundfos UP15-42F recirculating pump on my boiler. There are 3 branches (all on the same zone) throughout the house. The branch with longest run and the most radiators does not get near as warm as the other 2 branches when the heat is not on for very long (> 60 min as when...

Every now and again (maybe once a month?) I hear a loud strong rumble that shakes the house a little. I even felt it while sitting out in my backyard once. Felt like a little earthquake! Not sure what it is or how to begin diagnosing it. Any ideas? We are on a well. Thanks!

Hi, I have one grout tanks which is controlled by PLC in control system panel. This control will ensure that when the tank is empty, grout will be pumped in to refill the tank. This tank has level sensor send signal to PLC, and this PLC will command the valve of the tank to open. When signal...

Hi Everyone, I'm diagnosing a well issue. Long story short a splice broke in the supply line from the well to house. Introduced a lots of fines over the years... (don't ask, that's the long story.) I found the broken splice and repaired it. We've been flushing the system for a couple of...

My irrigation system is powered by a shallow well. I live in south Florida. A few months ago my pump seized up. It was 1hp. I hadn’t noticed there was a problem until I saw some brown/dry spots in my yard. I replaced it with a 3/4hp that I got a good deal on, hoping it work. It worked, but...

I recently had a well drilled. We went 760' with only 1 GPM. I hydrofractured the well and the flow went up to 16 GPM. At 140' he was pumping 16GPM and the water level remained flat. The static water level is about 30'. My irrigation system was designed on city water at 14 GPM and 60psi...

Hello everyone: I have a problem with my well that has me stumped. I recently replaced my pressure tank, pressure switch, and all the tank fittings, etc. The original switch was a 30/50 and I replaced it with a 40/60 to get a little more pressure in the house. After the install I flipped the...

Have a submersible pump (unknown HP on pump as I have not pulled it yet), 32 gallon tank, 40/60 pressure switch. Question is; from pump cut in to pump cut off it takes about 9 minutes with no water running in house (main shut off valve to huse closed). With a 32 gallon tank, I'm only storing 8...

Hi All, During Hurricane Harvey my home flooded, and the pressure tank on my water well floated, and broke the well head, casing, etc. I have a packer well system, with a 3/4 hp horizontal pump, that has a 2" casing, and a 1 1/4" inner pipe. I repaired the broken casing with a 2" coupler and...

Hello! I purchased a home 4 months ago, and included septic work in my contract when the system failed inspection. I'm currently having an issue (the red warning light went on advising me that I had high water levels). This is a photo of the inside of my pit. I see there is a plug inside the...

Not a question but thought I'd add this as a thing to look at if anyone else has this problem. So I bought my house recently with a well not knowing anything about wells or the well that it had. It had a 2 line jet system. I had a problem with it losing prime and decided I was comfortable with...

I am installing an irrigation system that will draw water from a lake. Total run will be 250 feet at a total elevation of 30 feet. What size submersible pump do I need and does anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate your time and expertise with this matter.

In our recently purchased approx 20 yr old house, we have an in-floor radiant heating system, that seems to work quite poorly, as in very slow to heat (like, half a day to get rooms up to temp). I suspect the previous owners either did not use it, or only used it supplementally. (house also has...

I'm looking for advice on the design of pump system to supply water to our house which is located at elevation on a mountain. The best solution would be our own private well, but drilling a well is not feasible due to the unknown cost and also because we are on a large granite mountain...

Forgive me if this question is unclear due to poor terminology. I'm new to pumps but am under the gun to get a new system installed. We currently have a Red Jacket "Submerga" 3 HP single phase pump sitting at 545 ft in a 560 ft well. It was installed in 1977 using a traditional installation...

We have a hi-efficiency, natural gas hot water heating system. The maintenance man said that our circulator pump was undersized for the size of the boiler. He said this would shorten the life of the boiler/pump. We don't have a problem with getting enough heat in the house. The house is almost...

Hello Everyone, Long time reader first time poster. Current setup from the information I could piece together from well report and last pump supplier. Well drilled YR: 1994 Well casing diam: 6" Well depth: 300' Water level from surface: 54' Pump depth: 200' Current pump: sta-rite 3/4 H.P...

Hey folks, long time (8 years) well owner, first time trying to figure this issue out. First off, I am not too sure about specifics about my well, so please bear with me. My well is several hundred feet deep, and when used heavily for a day (multiple loads of laundry, showers, etc) it will...

Will there be any significant loss in gpm by using 1" lined compared to 1 1/4" line from pump to pressure tank? Its only going to be used for irrigation. The pump has 1 1/4" outlet. Was gonna run that all the way to pressure tank but everything from there is 1" from tank to sprinklers. Not sure...
