    Water Softener trouble - fix or go with new?

    I have a Kenmore softener that I installed about 5 years ago (bought it new). It replaced an older Kenmore softener that quit working. I chose another Kenmore since the plastic bypass valve that was used would fit into the new softener and no changes there were required on hook-up. Though, I...

    Kenmore Softener worked for 2 years, now salt tank full of water

    In installed the kenmore softener new a couple years ago. It replaced an older Kenmore softener. I stuck with Kenmore since the shutoff/connections are the same from the old to the new for an easy install. It's been working great until recently. I noticed the salt tank full of water. Yes, I've...

    Trouble with greensand filter not drawing in Potassium Permanganate

    I searched the form, but got so many results that weren't relevant - I have to say my search wasn't very good. I'm a homeowner, not a plumber. Though, I did successfully install the greensand filter myself. I have a greensand filter, have had it a little over 1 year. The tank has a Fleck 2510...

    Weird "alternative" to sanitizing the well

    I was snowblowing the neighbor's driveway a few weeks ago and we started about things we're doing. I mentioned that I was going to sanitize my well because of the rotten egg smell. He said he had a product for me and I didn't have to pay him unless it worked and I wanted to keep it. Being...
