    Well pump recovery rate?

    I put in a regular sediment filter(not carbon) and the shower is still good. An extra 5-10 psi goes a long way Thank you to schooling me. MIKE

    Well pump recovery rate?

    Ok I adjust the on to 48 psi and the off went to about 61 psi. I wanted a little higher, but I recall when I replaced it a few years ago it was listed as a 40-60 psi type.

    Well pump recovery rate?

    Does this toilet vent look OK?

    So while I have a plumber in my house, you advise me to hire another one? Thanks for nothing Wally. I thought people come to these forums for help and advice, but you just seem to want to be condescending. Why did you even reply in the first place? Seems to be just to gloat, rather than offer...

    Does this toilet vent look OK?

    I do appreciate that you guys are professionals and can see why you are look down on amateurs doing professional's work. The man I hired was referred to me as a Pro and other than this, it all seems fine. I am a self employed contractor myself, but not a plumber. I install, train and repair...
