    Intermatic FM/1 timer losing time

    **UPDATE** This problem is solved. The new timer was missing a jumper between posts 2 & 3. Soldered one in and all is well.

    Intermatic FM/1 timer losing time

    I am struggling with this timer losing time. The timer controls a sprinkler that is attached to my OSSF. This is an aerobic septic system that pumps out through sprinklers. I began to see the sprinklers running at odd times. The current time setting on the timer was losing time. I replaced...

    Well water house supply shutoff

    I need to shut the house water supply. I want to change a Moen single handle cartridge. I have a private well outside with a pressure tank and Rayne conditioner in the garage. I have no idea which valves to turn. There is a large valve attached to a pipe coming from the pressure tank, a ball...

    Challenger PC266R pressure tank

    Yes, I was very pleased. The labor was $150. for 2 men. No supplies. Shut pump power, drain tank, unscrew two pipes and drag the old one away. Reconnect new, check air and start filling while watching pressure switch. Done...

    Challenger PC266R pressure tank

    Thanks to all replies. Had Associated Drilling out of Manchaca, Texas come out. The 5 year old Challenger had a rusted out welded "malleable" elbow leaking. I had them install another challenger "I" series (I85-PC266) with a stainless elbow. $900. out the door. Took them all of 30 minutes...

    Challenger PC266R pressure tank

    I just noticed a leak under my pressure tank in the garage. This tank was installed July 2006. The previous one (same model) was installed in 2002 and failed the same way. The leaking water is very rusty. Water pressure and quality in house is unaffected, so far. Are these tanks prone to...

    Well pressure gauge

    My gauge has frozen again. Can anyone suggest a gauge that will not freeze? It is exposed.

    Well pressure

    I am having what seems to be a well pressure problem. It is ONLY evident when the lawn sprinklers are on, so far. When any zone is watering, the pressure starts out good, then gradually drops to a trickle. This will occur even when no other water is running. The pressure switch cuts on and...

    water mineral content

    OK, today I got my TDS tester in the mail. It appears my RO 15 month membrane is not even working a little. TDS is 175 from BOTH kitchen faucet and RO faucet. TDS is 120 from refrigerator. AND 120 straight from the well. I guess I don't know what the hell I'm doing....

    water mineral content

    I just measured my hardness with the Hach kit. 80 drops before it turns blue. So 80. . I am using 40 pounds of Morton System Saver per 8 days. Two people in the house. The undersink RO system is an RaynePure 4 stage. The 200 figure I referred to should have been 240 TDS. Yes, I found a...

    water mineral content

    A neighbor is selling RO systems. He offered to measure my mineral content. I currently have a RaynePure under sink system that purifies Rayne conditioned well water. The RO water measured 240PPM. The water straight out of the conditioner is 1200. The water straight out of the well is 900...

    Water storage tank

    Folks, it is getting dry in South Texas (West Travis County) I am on a well in the Trinity. Wells around me are going dry. I have decided to at least install a pump shut off switch to save my pump motor. However, I am also interested in a storage tank. We are 60 years old and live alone. We...

    Fluidmaster 402LG w/leak guard

    Gentlemen, today I installed a new Fluidmaster 402LG fill valve with the leak guard. I am unable to get the leakguard to work properly. When I simulate a flapper leak, the float does not stay up. It "seems" the plastic chain floating is enough to hold the "leak guard" device up and away from...
