Tks Valveman. I understand now.

Amtrol lists an 88 gal pressure tank with acceptance volume as 46 gal. They also list 119 gal tank with acceptance volume of 46 gal. The cost difference is around $300. I don't understand why acceptance volumes are the same but the tank volumes are different. Can someone explain this? Tks

If the tub is set in concrete and the rim overlaps that, drill a new hole beside the rusted and use a "tapcon" or similar masonry screw.

Could use a fernco cap also.

Relliance 606 electric water heater serial #1136A004066. I googled this and it said serial would start with a letter. Another brand shows the 1136 would be 2011 and 36th week (september). Would this be right?

Thanks for all the input. Think I'm on the right track now; bring copper thru floor, bracket it to back wall of cabinet.

cutting cast Plain metal-cutting blade should work fine. Once in a great while I've run into some that is hard as can be so I put a metal cut-off disc in 4" angle gringer and buzz around it.:)

Could you add 2X2's to the studs to give room for 2" pipe?

It is a deep well jet. Hadn't thought about the freeezing; that's a good possibility. Will lift motor tomorrow and take a look. Thanks

Have a well approx 50' deep with a 1/2 hp jet pump. This pump was new 1 1/2 yrs ago. About six months ago we discontinued using this well and just yesterday tried to get it going again. I poured water into pump base until full and started pump, but no water. Took plug out and still full of...
