    DVW planning question

    I'm putting a bathroom in a summer cottage. Fixtures include a lav (1.5" drain line), shower (2"), and toilet (3"). All three drains come through the subfloor within 3 feet of a 2" vent pipe. p-traps for the lav and shower would be installed below the subfloor. I'd appreciate any input you...

    The check valve discussion.

    Off topic, but that's pretty funny. I thought there was some deep inside water well business joke that caused Ron to bleep out part of spe******t, but it turns out that the spam filter is just picking up that well-known drug for ED: ******. Now, I'll spend the rest of day trying to figure...

    HJ - I'm just a science teacher, but the theory proposed is correct. The reason that you don't run into the problem of water draining out of your siphon hose is that atmospheric pressure is adequate to hold up a column of water that is 32 ft high. If you filled the hose with water and then...

    Pressure tank placement

    My well water is acidic (pH about 5.5) so I'm installing a neutralizer. I've also got quite a bit of sediment and rust in the water so I have a filter for that already. Currently, my water runs to the pressure tank before it goes through the sediment filter. My question is - Can I run the...

    The check valve discussion.

    Speedbump, I have a question on your comment that a check valve by the bladder tank was not correct. I just moved into a house that has a xtrol pressure tank and just upstream from it before the plastic supply pipe enters the house - a flomatic check valve. I wondered about it because I...
