Did you end buying a rusco sediment trapper and get it installed?

I'm just buying some of the parts and pieces for a home plumbing upgrade on a 22 year old home. as of now I'm going from a copper trunk and branch and will be converting to a home run set up. I'm also adding the pside kick csv. something popped into my head, how about a circulation pump...

why not do home run? or do sub manifolds in places where you can't handily get to a certain appliance

thanks for the input

I hear ya's. think what I'll do is strive for 6 jugs. I'm just going to get 6 new sealed ones. I think I'll keep 3 sealed at all times and 3 more empty.... I'm fine with filling them on the generator when required. I'll circulate the 3 sealed potable bottles through our grocery store as...

I think I'm going to just get those water jugs. keep 4-6 stored away...

valveman, do you mean those blue water cooler jugs? with the handle? I told my wife about that and she is cool with it. I actually work for the hydro company that maintains our area and I live directly off our 3 phase circuit so it takes a massive storm to have my power out multiple days...

sorry I wasn't more clear. I did mention utility. Only use the generator for power outages

Hey guys. havent started yet but hwre is the plan, everything going to be new inside except for existing iron filter and water softener. I'm going to a home run pex system from the old trunk and branch copper. as for additions I am going to add a micro z Erie sediment filter 2.0, I have two...

ordered my pside kick yesterday. Have some other things to order before I put it in service. May be a couple months but I'm pretty excited

So your saying no to lower amperage?

thanks btw. So the russcos I have are max 150 psi. I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong but I just don't think my 1/2hp pump will have an issue delivering. but noted. Last thing I need to touch on is power outages. I read lots of your other posts about this. but let's bring me up to speed...

Ok. So sounds the pside kick is a lock. Question then becomes, do you have a method that is easy and effective to figure out my gpm at home? next, so my shower head says 2.5gpm max. Not sure what an energy efficient dishwasher and wash machine use per minute? I should have not included...

Hello. Have read lots about the pside kick. Like what I hear. I think I spoke to valveman's kid today on the phone. Anyways a little background. my drilled well is 130ft, water 30 ft from surface no matter what. pump set at 100ft mark. I measured around 8gpm. water is hard and has...
