    Geothermal Radiant Heat pressure loss

    I have a Geothermal heat pump that also has a water boiler addon that heats my radiant floors. I just noticed that the pressure in the radiant loop is zero. I don't see anywhere to fill and re-pressurize the system. Could I just hook a hose up to the holding tank until I get a fair amount of...

    CPVC Drain Line

    Thanks Reach. Yes I guess CPVC or PVC..I mean, I don't think I'd need anymore durability than PVC? PVC is lighter probably too? I'll have to look at the fittings on the valve housings (not home right now), I guess I just assumed they were proprietary. GPM for iron filter backwash is 5gpm

    CPVC Drain Line

    I want to swap my drain lines on my Water Softener and Iron Filter. I'd like to switch to CPVC for a more ridgid and routable drain option. I've never seen pictures on how people are connecting CPVC to their devices? Is there an adapter or just running existing nylon tubing into CPVC?

    Water Softener having NO effect on hardness

    Vendor shipped part, installed and hardness immediately went from 30+ to 5. Now to tweak the settings to get that down a bit. Looks like i'm close.

    Water Softener having NO effect on hardness

    Bingo. 1.05" OD riser tube. No adapter on the Valve. grrr. You guys are great help. So I just need to get them to ship an adapter. Does that come with the gaskets or are they separate part numbers? The adapter pictured here looks like it has a gasket? 32mm Distributor Adapter for Fleck...

    Water Softener having NO effect on hardness

    % chance of pulling the head off without having the tube come with it and having to rebed gravel/resin?

    Water Softener having NO effect on hardness

    Thanks guys. I'm finally getting back to this as i've been so busy. I did the test and when flipping to Brine Draw phase, immediately salty water and like 800TDS @drain. Would your first diagnostic check be to try and take off valve and check oring?

    Water Softener having NO effect on hardness

    I've got a new water softener with a Fleck 5810SXT valve that is not working. It's almost like it's in bypass mode still. I've watched the Brine draw and brine fill appear to be working properly. I've watched it drain and re-fill. What could be causing literally no impact? Hach hardness...

    Replacing Pressure Tank - Mixing Brass with Stainless

    I picked up a 86gal pressure tank for my well pump and i'm looking to install it this weekend. They only had Stainless steel tee in stock, but pressure relief valve, drain, pressure gauge and nipple for pressure switch are all brass. Is there a problem mixing these?

    I've got an entire bottle of that. Worth a try right?

    Replace my discountinued 7000sx softener valve?

    It's well water. Iron fouled..I only had 8% and no iron filter (2ppm iron). I now have iron filter and a rescare drip on brine tank so shouldn't happen again.

    Replace my discountinued 7000sx softener valve?

    I have the Fleck 7000sx (5 years old) on a 2.5cu 13" tank. I'm about to re-bed the resin and i'm seeing the 7000sx is discontinued. Should I be worried before dumping time and money into this unit without replacing the valve?

    Help with settings for my new 7000SXT

    Makes sense. I was just curious on -B1 -BD -B2 -RR And how these are determined. I'm not questioning your numbers at all, just interested in learning about them
