The foundation ground water is the easy part... but do i pipe the softener to the septic instead,?

Both pit output lines have check valves on them. Im ok putting the softener water into the septic but again the foundation water seems like way more stress on the septic than necessary. I've got in ground sprinklers and really the prospect of a drywell and backhoe digging isn't a appealing...

Hi all, I bought my home in June this year and I was looking at stuff in the basement this weekend and developed a question. BACKGROUND House has a interior perimeter drain tile (dry basement system). 2 sump pit basins. Each with a battery backup. I had the water softener replaced in July...

Got it all replaced. Picked up the water pressure gauge. And propped a scrap piece of wood under the pipe for support. Thanks all

got it removed. Picking up new one later today and will put back on tonight. Thanks for help guys!

Ok. Getting the floor wet during removal isn't an issue its just bare concrete but ill keep that in mind.

I had considered something like that as well. Any concerns i should have in removing the tank from the copper fitting? Just take it easy i assume?

No the expansion tank valve is pointing up. I am on well water not city if that matters. When the water heater was running just now and I tapped the expansion tank it did not sound empty or hollow in any way. It made a very solid full noise Should the expansion tank pressure be checked...

My expansion tank reads at about 45psi. If that matters

Hi all Just bought our house in June. Since then I've found the natural gas state water heater ( 3 years old) leaks out of the pressure relief valve ONLY when one of the bath tubs is used. It does not leak any other time but when we give our daughter a bath. There is an expansion tank...

Its for sure 100% violet (purple). Had to remove and clean the other day since it wasn't drawing in the brine.

Can do. I'm off today and its rainy and windy out, so this is a good activity for this afternoon.

I add this religiously each time i put salt in. 1 bag of salt, then I sprinkle like 1/2 a cup of this on top of the salt. I forget the amount I have and old little cup that I measured out a couple years ago with a line marked on it with the amount to add. Then I add another bag of salt...
