It seems you are checking the air pressure while the tank's water chamber continues to contain water. When there is water in the water chamber, the air and water pressures shouid be equal. The tank's air pre-charge pressure, is to be tested with the pump's power supply shut off, and after the...

A pump will only need to lift water from where the top of the water is located within the well. Regardless of the drop pipe length being 40', 80' or 200', If the static water level is 25', then the pump will need to lift from only 25'. Because the water level will typically become...

As shown below, the well seal is 4 metal plates with a rubber center sandwiched between. Tightening the bolts draws the 2 bottom plates toward the top ones, which causes the rubber center to be squeezed and push outward against the inner wall of the well casing. The well seal is only secured...

The VFD rating plate seems to confirm the 30hz design minimum as it it lists the output as 0-230 volts (30-80 Hz) when using a 3 phase motor, 0-230 volts (30-60 Hz) for a 1 phase, 2-wire motor, or 0-290 volts (30-60 Hz), for a 1 phase, 3-wire motor. Perhaps your VFD controller is defective, or...

At 1.496 gallons per foot within a 6" diameter casing, the water rise of 42' in 5-minutes, then equals a recovery rate of 12.56 gallons per minute while the water level is lowered to 245'. The pump placed at 375' depth, will then result in approx 347' of water within the casing above the pump...

Is your installed submersible pump, the same one that is listed at the top of the well test report, or did the driller install a 1 HP 10 gpm pump for testing purposes only? What brand and model is your actual installed submersible pump? The diagram in your initial posting suggests, in addition...

With the recent high frequency of being greeted with 'Oops' notifications while attempting to access this forum, is there an ongoing issue with the site's hosting or administration?

Page 2 of the installation instructions, under the 'Blower Sizing' heading, specifies the 1HP 'Silencer', is capable of supplying only up to 40" (water column) pressure, whereas the 2 HP Astro is capable of a maximum 65" (WC) pressure . How deep is the water to where you are attempting for the...

Fitter30, the adaptor that Theodore enquired about initially, shows a L14 30P Twist lock for the 30 amp 4-prong generator outlet, and a 5-15/20R on the outlet side of the adaptor. For a saw rated to consume >25 amps @ 120 volts, it should have been equipped with a plug designed for >30 amps...

The inclusion of a higher quality bottom screen, along with the addition of bedding gravel, will usually eliminate any further resin loss risk. I understand being cautious following the initial incident, so as a belt and suspenders approach, suggest as Reach4 recommended, simply install an...

A supplier web link was included directly below the image. Edit to Add: That air gap maybe utilized for 2 alternate installation applications. Here is an image of the alternate application (shown at the bottom of the linked page). Simply remove your floor drain cover, insert the SS...

The manufacture's instructions show only 1 check valve, located on the 'Spa' side of the Hartford loop. The website also specifies the blower is intended for Spa/Hot Tub use. Since a swimming pool depth will typically be substantially greater than a Spa, an air compressor would likely be...

Common topic in the "Water Softener" forum. Here's an air gap design which supports multiple draining appliances, which will typically bolt directly to an existing floor drain cover using 1 SS machine screw and a SS wing nut. Tru-Gap Floor Drain kit Edit to add: The iSpring web site...

3200W / 120 volts = 26.66 amps. The adaptor shown, is suitable for up to only 20 amps ( 2,400 watts) @ 120 volts. The saw's info is somewhat conflicted as the initial heading specifies 3200 W motor, but one of the images shows "Max. 2800w power". The description specifies: Note: It is...

The included Superstore link specifies a check valve is included, but does not state that it is built in or integral to the blower. As the installation diagram shows the check-valve located above ground on the Spa side of the Hartford loop, I anticipate a separate 2" spring check valve was...

A pump is not very effective at pumping air, so you will need to prime the pipe between the pump and the check valve located at the well head, just above the vertical pipe connected to the sand point. Suggest locating the priming port on the pressure (outlet) side of the pump, as that will...

I would not recommend replacing the turbulator, but instead, install a standard Fleck or Clack high quality bottom basket and the appropriate diameter standard riser tube. Without a turbulator, then 15 lbs of 1/8 X 1/16 bedding gravel may be utilized for a 10" diameter softener tank. While...

True that gravel under bedding cannot be utilized with softener equipped with a turbulator. A turbulator functions similar to a pump, causing the most depleted resin located at the bottom of the tank to be circulated (reclassified) to the top of the tank while backwash is occuring. While...

While it would be best to locate the Dole Valve directly after the pump's outlet connection, because of your current test setup, the Dole Valve will need to be located after the ball valve which is controlling the feed to the cistern. In this manner, the Dole valve will not restrict flow when...

Classic result of the system being equipped with a low quality bottom basket. The bottom basket is the only component that prevents resin from escaping into your plumbing system, so best not to cheap-out there. Recommend replacing with either a Clack or Fleck basket and riser which will be...
