    Pressure System Problem

    You may be correct, Gary. Perhaps at some future date when I have nothing else to do and am bored, I will rearrange the set up just to see.

    Pressure switch problem or something else???

    I have never heard of a pump being put in a lake before. A foot valve, yes. Not many people swim, wade, fish in a well.

    Pressure switch problem or something else???

    Pump In Lake With a pump in a lake with electrical wires attached I see a safety hazard and a large potential liability for both the owner and the person that put it there.

I had stated on my previous posting that having put the pressure switch in front of the filters that the system was working okay save for one occasion in which there was an off/on/of/.. cycle.

    Newbie Question: Priming a well pump that's been disconnected for years

    Well Priming There should be a reservoir connected to the pump which can be filled in order to prime the system. The amount of water required to do so will depend on the amount of line that is in the well. You will know when it is primed when you can not put any more water into the reservoir...

    Pressure System Problem

    Thank you, Bob for your informative comments. As mentioned, I have now put the switch in front of the filters and it has been working okay except for for one occassion when it went into an off/on/off oscillation, why I do not know. I believe that the only demand at that time was as a result...

    Pressure System Problem

    Pump Preesure Problem Thanks again for your comments, Gary. I am not familiar with the type of system you mentioned. Could fill me in? What does it consist of; is it complicated; what costs are involved? I will be going ahead with the changes using the disposable filters, but I always like...

    RE: Cistern problems

    Cistern problem What type of pump are you using and where is it located with respect to the cistern? How much pipe do you have to fill in order to get the pump primed? And do you know whether or not the pump is actually primed? If the pump does not get primed properly and it runs for any...

    Pressure System Problem

    Thank you, Gary, for your response. What gets into the cistern is mostly fine matter (dust, dirt) that gets washed from the roof by rain and is too small to be caught by the screen filters that are in place in the eves. The filter becomes quite dirty over time and I probably replace them...

    Anyone using dual sump pumps?

    Dual Sump Pumps I think the approach you are taking is the practical one considering the extent of the problems and the economics for a "Mike Holmes" solution. My suggestions are that you wire the two pumps on independent fuses/breakers in the event that one pump fails and causes the...

    repairing where well pipe enters house

    Assuming that the picture is of the inside of the wall and that there is a gear clamp holding the two pipes together, I would suggest that you carefully use an appropriate chisel to remove the concrete and whatever other material seems to be around the pipe so that the gear clamp is accessible...

    Pressure System Problem

    I am in the process of renovating my in-house water system as a result of having to replace my pressure tank. The system utilizes a cistern as a reservoir, rain collected off the roof as the supply source, and a submersible pump located in the cistern. The old in-house system consisted of a 5...
