    Condensation from the stack

    Dana Thanks for the info. I'm starting to understand what is needed to fix the problem. Yes it its fan assisted exhaust. The current 8" stack is single metal with a 1/2" rigid insulation surrounding it. So you think I should rip out all of the old stack? Won't the new 3" stack have...

    Condensation from the stack

    Condensation from the stack

    thanks for the replies. The stack is probably original from the fifties and it is double wall insulated. It probably has deteriorated but most of the neighboring houses have the same stack coming out of their roofs. There is no manual in the house so maybe I can get one from Luxaire if...

    Dual heat systems

    Wow, I didn't expect to be brought up in front of the ethics committee. Both of my tenants have been in this building for over 20 years. I keep their rents below market because of their longevity. There has been no lease for years and even if there was the terms can be changed with a few months...

    Pump sizing?

    As I stated in the O post the water level is at 50' below the surface. We have not run out of water but we are getting lots of air coming out of the faucets. When the pump starts I can hear the rush of water coming into the tank. I have removed the well cap and cycled the pump and don't see or...

    Pump sizing?

    Thanks for your replies. Do 1/2 hp pumps come with different # of stages? And what would the correct amount of them be for my application? The reason I suspected a bad check valve is I started getting alot of rust in my whole house water filter and the water pressure is still strong. I...

    Pump sizing?

    Thanks in advance for all of the knowledge you guys share. I need to replace the check valve at my submersible pump sometime soon. I also have a check valve in the basement that keeps the pressure from draining back. We have lived here for over 11 years so the pump is older than that. I'm...
