I was reading here about wells need a vent. The top of mine has the seal that is down inside casing and you can't unscrew it or the bottom part will fall into the well. Has the pipe coming out and a spot where wiring comes out. Then it has a blue plastic screw in plug. Mine is screwed in so I...

I was just reading about having multiple tanks(current and an old thread) and they said as long as 1 tank has the correct air charge you are ok. I have more than one tank and I always thought you needed to keep them at the same pressure for them to all empty completely and together. I know it is...

I was looking at new electric water heaters on the Home Depot site. Of course they have all sizes with variable warranties. It also list the yearly operating cost for each model. The 6 and 9 year warranty models both have dual 4500 watt elements. The 12 year warranty models all have dual 5500...

Since we are in the middle of a drought here in the South would I save more water by changing my pressure from the 40/60 to 30/50? I have 82 gal tank and a sub. pump. I have never had any water problems but since it has been so dry and I have 2 houses on this and some cows too I was wondering if...

Are all handicapped toilets the same height or can you get different heights? If so what are the tallest brands? Thanks

I read somewhere that there is a difference in electric water heater elements. There are "standard" ones and then there are some that are"low watt density". From what I read the "low watt density" are supposed to be more energy efficient? Is this true? Also, do you know anything about an element...
