We had a Myers jet pump in a well pit and struggled with no water pressure. We had the casing extended, a pitless adaptor installed and dropped a 3" grundfos submersible into the well (4" casing). Went from 40 psi max to 50 on 70 off. After having the new setup I would never go back to a jet...

I fully understand the help and appreciate it. I had a forum member instant message me and is working with me. Hopefully I can get this figured out....but it I will need to get a water test done so I am not guessing.

Honestly, I could only put a gallon of water in the tube so the water was high. Once it regenerated the water was much lower. Not sure what was going on. It looked like there was much more than 5 gallons of water.

I will take your advise and remove, clean and raise the brine draw. Hopefully I can get this figured out. Initially I used the settings that came with the softener...obviously not correct. I check both the screen on the brine line and the screen below. While there obvious signs of iron, nothing...

In our area we have iron but it's low. I will try to get a better test done to see where we stand. I'm 35 minutes into the brine draw and it's almost out of brine. Where the brine tube is...it says .5gpm 1.5 lb salt minimum. The injector number is 1 with a 2.4 gpm flow. I suspected that I wasnt...

Thank you! I added iron out to the salt tank. I will reduce my capacity and I will raise the hardness to see if it improves. I'll add 5 gallons to the tube and I'll let you know how it goes. Everything else looks okay then?

About 3 months or so ago we took out our old culligan unit (over 25 years old) and I replaced it with a 48000 grain fleck sxt5600 softener. When I tested our water, it was 12 on the hardness but quite unsure about iron. While we do have iron, bypassing the softener the water is clear and tastes...

I'm not a pro, but we had our well worked on this year. We had a well pit, and we needed the casing extended above ground. I had a 6 foot section of casing welded to extended above ground, a pitless adaptor, new wire (75') a 3" submersible pump, and a 40 some gallon pressure tank installed for...

It's a whole new bathroom. I'm roughing in the plumbing now. I carried the 3/4 main upstairs and branched off of them for the 2nd bath. The room directly below is gutted also, so access isn't an issue. I shared both 1/2 hot and cold with a double vanity. When I redid the plumbing downstairs I...

I have a quick question about a bath installation. I was going to run a separate 1/2 copper supply line to my toilet. Is this necessary or can I branch off my tub/shower cold line (1/2)? Everything at this point has it's own supply line off of a 3/4 copper main. I dont want the toilet flush to...
