I just had a new well drilled and I could tell by the rig's position that the well hole would not be plumb. Will this make a difference in operation or will it affect the life of the pump they put down there? They drilled down 204' , placed a 5" PVC casing with gravel around it. Sealed the...

I am looking for the safest way with what I have to connect a 5k generac generator to my house so I can run my well pump during power outages. Granted, a transfer switch would be the safest and easiest, but where I live, the outages seem to come infrequently, but are there for hours and...

Ok, I am not an electrician, but am comfortable working with electrical. Here is the scenerio. I have a shop/garage that has an outside outlet on it already. About 30 feet away, I have a chicken coop. I would like to run power out there for multiple uses. What I am thinking is to get one of...

Hi Gang. There is a urinal at work that leaks. My problem is this. On the top, there is a compression grommet that seals the top from leaking when flushed. There is a sloan/royal flush valve that supplies the water. As you can see in the picture, I have raised the escutcheon to show a...

My wife had an old PC clone computer with an HP legal size flat bed color scanner. In the machine, there is an ISA SCSI card to run the scanner. She now has an older Dell, computer. I would like to add the scanner to the Dell, but it doesn't have any ISA slots, so I thought that I would try...

I have a price pfister lavy washerless sink set. the hot and cold water valves drip. I removed each valve assy and replaced some "o" rings etc. Still drip. Are they worth messing with further, or should I just bite the bullet and get a new valve assy for each?

I have had this water softener in my house since I bought it 5 years ago. It looks pretty old. I need one of the micro switches for it as it doesn't work properly anymore. Can anyone tell me what brand this is? There are two of these timer assy's in my system. One for the brine tank and the...

I live in California if it makes a difference. I have a newly installed water system that was installed by a water company. They came out of the well pump casing to the bottom of the water storage tank. (fill it from the bottom). From the internal storage tank pump, they came out the top...
