    Don't ask! Snapped the copper pipe on quick connect spray

    I tightened up the quick connect fitting for the sprayer on the kitchen faucet. I tightened it up so good in fact I snapped the copper pipe that goes into the faucet. Anyway to fix this? Or is it new faucet time? Thanks, Tom

    Yes they do clog! PEX elbow

    I drained the tank 5x already. Must be sediment. I blow it out through the little screw on.

    Yes they do clog! PEX elbow

    How to test wire from pressure switch to wire under ground

    Ok, it's been two + weeks. My tanks cut in is still 27-28, but I'm having issues with water pressure. If I flush the toilet my sink in the kitchen slows way down. Presure in shower sucks. I drained the tank when I checked pressure. Could it still be sediment? I should have good pressure now. Tom

    How to test wire from pressure switch to wire under ground

    If I raise the pressure to 40 - 60 will that be alright? The shower is good but it could be better. When I water my garden pressure sucks! I've got 80' of hose outside.

    How to test wire from pressure switch to wire under ground

    Yeah, the brand I have now is the wellx trol. If my diaphragm were bad wouldn't the presure drop and not hold steady? It's been at 50 now for a 1/2 hour. How big a compressor would I need? 150 psi?
