I need to replace my water heater and an trying to decide what size I need. Three bath house with two people, no children. Rarely run more than one thing at a time. But, we have a jetted tub. The tub holds a minimum of 57 gallons and a maximum 95 gallons according to the spec sheet. I assume...

I had a 405' a 6" well drilled last week set 25' from the house. The casing is unscreened steel and is 64' set 10' into rock. The pump is 3/4 set at 240'. The electrical supply is 12/2. The water supply is PEX. Does the well casing have to be bonded to the equipment ground?

When my new well was drilled, the new PEX water supply line enters the crawlspace at the other end of the house than the old copper supply. This line was connected to the existing plumbing by installing a “T†in the existing supply line about 10' from where the old supply line entered the...

Unfortunately, the only place I have room for it would be in a closet under the stairs where my HW heater is...

It looks like I need to replace my well with a deep (200' +) well. I have some basic questions. The well will be in NC where the temperatures are moderate wih little snowfall. 1) The quotes I am getting call for a 20 gallon tank. Is this adequate? This is for a three bedroom, three bath...

In a previous post you convince me that I need a new well to replace my current well. I am in NC. After talking to several well drillers, it appears that I am totally responsible for any mess they make. Basically they drill, trench and leave. My question is what is the consistency of the...

I am having issues with my well. It is a two inch well that is approximately 35 feet deep and has a jet pump. The well was drilled in 1965. The well head is buried. I have been told by the previous owner that the foot valve and well pipe were replaced sometime around 2007. I suspect that the...

I opened up a wall up today and exposed the cast iron waste line. At the joint of two sections, it appears discolored both above and below the union. The area was slightly gummy. When misted with water, the water beads up on the dark stain. If I mist the lightly rusted area the water is...
