Thanks for sending me the tip! I was able to find some discussions on the internet that concluded that it was advantageous installing the foam this way. Talked to Owens Corning and they felt it was the best approach. Really appreciate you responding to my problem!

Thank you for sending me the link! This is my first septic system and the first time that I have had a problem. Hopefully I can learn enough from this information to avoid the problems that I had this winter. Really appreciate you taking the time to send me this information.

I built a house in Wyoming 15 years ago and this past winter the septic tank froze for the first time. Once the tank froze, about 40' of the septic line (line is 100' long) to the tank froze. Because the tank and leach field are on level ground, the tank is only covered by about a foot of dirt...

Reach4, Thanks so much for all of the info and advice!

I'm getting ready to shock my well using the moravec method. I'm confused on the testing of the chlorine though. 1. When I run the faucets so that the bleach is distributed, what reading should I expect on the chlorine strips? 2. From other posts that I have read, it appears as though I should...

Success at last, no bad taste or smell. Just want to thank everyone for their guidance, it has been very frustrating dealing with this issue. Thanks

Even though I ran this faucet first, and ran it quite a while, I never did smell the chlorine. That's why I'm glad you told me about the paper test strips, next time I will know for sure. This is the first time that I've had a well, quite a learning experience. When I remove the faucet, I'm...

Yesterday I replaced the flex pipe to the faucet, the smell and taste was still very strong. This morning I disconnected the flex pipe from the PEX valve and filled a cup from this point. The taste and smell were still there, but significantly reduced. Now to tear everything apart and clean as...

There are no small black flecks. Sometimes I can taste a little of the "rotten egg" taste in the hot water but it is always very minor.

My lack of knowledge in this area resulted in my relying on a lot of comments from users online. I didn't feel as though it made a bit of difference. I will try this on the next shocking. I had read about this device but just wasn't sure if it was any value. I have been droping 3" chlorine...

There are no AAV's in the house. The bathroom drains are right next to the main vent pipe that goes through the roof. The main vent pipe has been a problem from the start. We get a lot of wind here and when it is windy, I can see the water move in the toilet bowl (upstairs only). As a result...

I had a complete test completed (attached) by the lab 3 years ago. The sulfide test was a year ago.

The problem is only in the upstairs bathroom. No bad tastes or smells from any of the other faucets.

I don't smell the sulfur until I turn on the cold water. And the cold water tastes absolutely terrible, sometimes I can taste a little sulfur in the hot water but it isn't bad at all.

Exactly what the scientist at the lab told me. I installed a sediment filter and the Aqua-Pure AP904 Water Filter System. Kind of the same thing? I don't have a problem with iron. I'll try this method next time. I tried to flush my WH last flush, unfortunately my spigot for draining the tank...

Four years ago I built a house outside of Cody WY. Water is from a well with an 80' head. My pipes are PEX, and I also have a water softener. My problem is that I have a very strong rotten egg smell in my upstairs bathroom. I had the water tested at a lab in Billings MT, came back negative for...
