    Stenner/Carlon water meter connections

    Isn't the thread on the union adapter tapered and the tread on the meter straight like the prolock fitting I linked to?

    Stenner/Carlon water meter connections

    Anyone know if these thread onto a Stenner JLP0750 meter where their supplied coupling would usually thread on? Would they include a washer on the straight threaded end? https://www.supplyhouse.com/John-Guest-PSEI623638E-L-1-CTS-x-1-NPS-ProLock-Female-Adapter I'm referring to the C connection...

    Lake Water System Setup

    You could also consider hydrofracking you current well to increase the flow rate. Although you risk hitting contaminants such as salt, iron, and sulfur that vary in how easily they're treated.

    Lake Water System Setup

    Around here we do shore wells to get water from the lake year round. We usually use 4' diameter precast sections on the shore and use a regular submersible well pump on a pitless adapter. We tend to have a lot of limestone and usually have to blast to get deep enough and fracture the rock...

    Well water woes… need advice

    I can't find the quote on the CDC site but I'm pretty sure I saw it there. Perhaps I actually saw it quoted somewhere else such as https://watersafepro.com/germicidal.html which may or may not be accurate. I should clarify too that UV IS effective against cryptosporidium but you would need...

    I'm not expert except from google searches and common sense, but in my opinion you could do quite a bit better. So, IMHO: If you want to do it right, get a water test so you have an idea of what you're trying to treat. Cartridge filters should not be used for a whole house filter as they...

    New to water softeners

    Yep, determine what valve is used, look up the manual then document the original settings. That should give you an indication of how much media is in the tank and how hard your water is. Ideally, you'd want to test the hardness of the water before the softener then make sure the system is set...

    Meter pulse from water softener?

    I want to use the dry contact input on my Stenner pump to inject chlorine based volume. I understand the meters on the fleck controllers have a dry contact output but it looks like there is just a cable that goes to the valve so I'm not sure if that can be used. If I add a dedicated dry...

    Meter pulse from water softener?

    Is it possible to use the meter from a Fleck sxt or xtr to control a chlorine pump or would I need an additional meter? I'm specifically looking to see if I need a separate pulse meter to control a Stenner FP series or if I can control it with a metered softener I plan to add. If so, how would...
