To be more accurate, I put a clamp meter on it and rechecked, it's 8 amps. The pump is about 160feet down and 1" supply line. What HP do you come up with then? Jeff

more questions... I appreciate all the great advice. I went out to the well casing and used a vinyl measuring tape to see how deep my well goes down... 150ft, unless it actually goes alot deeper and I just touched the first torque arrestor thinking I hit the pump. I have never had the pump out...

Why no air in line? if my check valve on pump isn't sealing properly and the water is running back through the pump, wouldn't I be hearing air coming through my faucets?

It's a water hammer arrestor... I installed it soon after this loud hammer problem started up. If it doesn't belong there I can unscrew it and plug it. So far I understand I need to remove the check? I need to understand why someone put it there and for what reason is it causing a problem...

Why do you say there is no trap, didn't you see the pictures?

Plumb a shower drain into a floor drain that goes into a gray water system. Cutting that terracotta pipe was pretty hard. I tried using a carbide blade on my reciprocating saw with not much progress. I ended up notching the pipe with the air chisel and smoothing it out with a grinding wheel. (I...

I could use some more advice with installing this p-trap... Is there a certain length for the inlet pipe into the p-trap, should it be long enough to hold enough water to push through the trap? Is it ok to backfill around this pipe (ABS) with sand? How do I get a downward slope with my...
