    Expansion tank question

    The drain valve from my water heater keeps draining. I replaced the relief valve but that did not remedy the problem. I tapped the expansion tank and it appears to be full of water. It is a watts DET 12 M1 which is no longer produced. What is a good compatible replacement? Any suggestions...

    Pump/driven well question

    So I got everything set up with a 1hp shallow well pump and 30' drop pipe with a foot valve. Everything is working great. I am getting about 4 1/2 gallons/minute. I let it run for over three hours and it just chugged away with no disruption in flow. I wanted to say thanks to everyone for the...

    Pump/driven well question

    Wet_Boots, That is my plan B if this doesn't work out. I have a shallow well pump already available so I am going to hook it up and see what I get. The jet pumps are supposed to be good down to 86 feet. I am planning on using the h20 for irrigation supplied by drip hose. If my flow isn't...

    Thanks for the feedback guys! The suggestion to downsize to a 1 inch foot valve is a good idea. Will the 1 inch restrict the flow very much? My 1 1/4 inch pipe is assembled with internal slip couplings so it fits the 2" with room to spare. Another question comes to mind now that I've taken...

    Pump/driven well question

    After the point was driven, I flushed it with a hose. I could hear the water down to about 8-10 feet, but it didn't get any higher. I also back flushed the point with a clog buster for about 40 minutes. I had access to a 2" gas pump that was hooked up and run for about 25 minutes. After...

    Pump/driven well question

    I recently punched a driven well to 41 feet with 2" galvanized pipe with 5' well point. My water table is at 19'(so 22' in the water). I have a question about pump/pipe sizing. I am going to use a 1hp shallow well pump that is rated at 15gpm. The pump inlet is sized at 1 1/4". Will there be...
