    Franklin Control Box

    Hi, My well pump will not stay pumping for much more than 10 seconds to maybe 3 minutes. I had a well company clean my 3,000 cistern today. Pump worked perfect before this issue. I turned off the well pump breaker sometime in the last 1 - 2 weeks to allow our water usage to to drain the...

    Crown XBF-150EID LP Boiler Questions

    Hi, I am looking for some guidance on my 15-year old Crown XBF-150EID LP boiler. Should we replace the gas valve only, the gas valve & aquastat, or just live with the two items right now, not replacing them, and replace the boiler before the Fall with a wall-hung high-efficiency unit? What...

    Questions: 1) Ever hear of issues with KITEC pipe just failing and not because of the dezincification issue? Or, is that what I have but without any build-up inside the pipes? All the JKITEC threads on this site..wow, and I could not find but one post abut a KITEC pipe failing as a result of...

    Water Hammer & Water Hammer Arrester location

    Uhh, I think the two older posts said the same thing you just said...keep the water from flowing back into the storage tank. And, that is where the check valve was installed. Anyway, as I said, I was just coming back to say the water hammer issue was resolved when the submersible pump was...

    Kitec Question

    Hi, I am, as of 2 weeks ago, very well aware now of the $125M settlement of the class action lawsuit out of North Texas. What a stupid, stupid thing I did to have this entire house plumbed with KITEC in 2001 - 2002. Anyway, here we are now and guess what? Leaks. But, it is interesting...

    Water Hammer & Water Hammer Arrester location

    Hi, I came back here to ask a question and noticed I never replied with the final solution to this water hammer issue. Nothing I did or any plumber did solved the issue until this past March. We had a well guy come out and he removed the jet pump from the system and put a submersible pump in...

    Odd: Potassium Taste

    Thanks for the reply. The cycle completed and the water is finally starting to taste better. It was odd that this was the 1st time we had this issue after 10 years. The power has gone out multiple times before and the timer has never been adjusted. So, it is another thing to check...

    Odd: Potassium Taste

    Hi, We have had our Culligan water softener system for 10 years with one minor issue but I forget what it was. Culligan came out, fixed whatever was wrong, and it has been fine since. However, I went to get a drink of water from the kitchen faucet just now and yuch! The water has such a...

    Water Hammer & Water Hammer Arrester location

    Get rid of the check valve? I was told by a licensed plumber a check valve is needed to prevent the water from flowing back into the tank, and hence it was installed. This plumber told me the original plumber who plumbed the house when we built it shoudl have known this and failed plumbing 101...

    Water Hammer & Water Hammer Arrester location

    ".....I am not sure what that means because you should have a pneumatic storage tank after the pump which stores the water under pressure. I am not sure what you mean by "pressure tank" and "storage tank", since they should be the SAME tank....." A pneumatic storage tank? A tank with...

    Water Hammer & Water Hammer Arrester location

    Hi, I have a question about water hammer and their location. I live in a house I built myself 10 years ago in a very remote location. And, the remoteness causes issues with contractors as they do not like to drive to my house. I had a difficult time getting contractors to bid on my house...

    Water Overflow Pipe Dripping

    Until I looked at the piping myself I also had no clue what the overflow pipe comes from. I finally decided to release the T&P valve on the indirect water heater and also the pressure valve on the boiler and viola! Water flowed out the overflow pipe. But, I decided to call one of the largets...

    Water Overflow Pipe Dripping
