Another new concept ......... I've never knew that you could get a submersible pump for a well 200 feet down that is a 120 volt.

I actually prefer the pressure switch with the on/off lever so I can control the pump while doing maintenance without walking to the breaker panel.

The interior "tank " is metal with a protective coating of ........ Glass Lined, Porcelain Enameled, Vitreous Enameled or Blue Silicon Enameled ........ I stand corrected by Reach4 If it doesn't immediately leak it should be functional. Dozens of YouTube videos of heater interiors. If that is an...

Time to hit "unwatch" and recognize sometimes it's not worth the effort.

Just a thought that rarely gets mentioned. You can't predict what "position" your system will be at when you use water .......... I have two systems both with CSVs. In my utility well the pressure tank has a 40-60 switch. The small tank may be static at 41 psi .... so when I use it to fill a...

Suggestion : Believe & follow advice given by Valveman. (Also just to mention ..... the 1/4 inch pipe nipple that connects your pressure switch to your system might be partially clogged with crap causing "irratic" operation. Just mentioning it because of personal experience.)

( Yup ---- did it again )

Wondering if related to a water heater T&P Relief valve.

I would also suggest a remote thermometer for the area of concern. I worried for years about freezing pipes running heat tape all winter ............... only to find the area of concern never dropped below 40 degrees until it was below zero outside.

I will always stay with electric. They are much easier to maintain. You can replace the elements... vacuum out the tank through the bottom element hole with a wet vac and also monitor your anode rod through the same hole.

( WOW ... the well 1/4 mile away )

Here's my pick of the litter for an effective drain valve ... available at Amazon or Ebay.

Reads like an excellent well and a perfect application for a cycle stop valve.

I'm just a novice but prefer ball valves over compression or gate valves for any application. I also think your inspector is providing good advice ......... around here the curb valves require special tools.

First answer is ...... if you have a need to drain your system to prevent freezing the answer would be Yes.... It would help. If not ... then NO.
