    Well pump cycling - small changes

    Another question - is it normal to hear the in-well pump (60 Hz hum) in the house when it kicks on? I'm thinking that since the tank touches the floor joists, this noise is being transmitted thru the water, to the tank, to the joists, and resonates throughout the house. Would it be quieter...

    Well pump cycling - small changes

    My tank is presently held by two straps between floor joists (but is larger than the center to center spacing) in my crawl (about 4 foot high). The tank is horizontal. The fitting comes out the side to a "T" where the gauge and valve are, along with a faucet for a drainage hose (so I can drain...

    Well pump cycling - small changes

    Looks like you nailed it - water squirted out of the valve and smells like my good sulfur water! The tank is a Welltrol WX202. What would be a reasonable expectation on tank cost (materials) and labor (an hour at $50?) It should be an easy install for someone who know what they are doing...

These shallow wells, however, are prone to being contaminated by bacteria from...

    Sulfur/rotten egg smell

    I live in a high sulfur area so I know the smell all too well. First thing I would do is have the water tested for both mineral and bacterial content. Many times this can be done for free or at a low price locally. Your State may have an office to do it free (or cost of postage) as well...

    Well pump cycling - small changes

    I had a service person out today for my water conditioning system. He noticed that my well pump was cycling way too often. He thought my pressure tank was water-logged. Before I call anyone, I wanted to take a look. What I found was that the pressure was changing from a high of 50 to a low...
