Thanks, this looks great, can you help me spec it out? Can the injection point share NaOH injection? Would my current retention tank be good? https://www.nelsencorp.com/itemdetail/RETENTION%20TANK-1248-SS

Thanks, that's some great feedback and I appreciate your experience with this nuisance issue. Just to clarify -- the 7gpm is the well yield test result. So like you said, combo between sustained well output and pump capacity. I would guess we rarely pull over 2gpm for anything longer than a...

bump -- looking for feedback on ozone systems to check out. thanks in advance

Hi Allan, thanks for reply. Yes, traditional submersible pump, 60/40 switch. Our pressure tank is 32 gallon but we’re probably not far off from needing to replace it if that matters. Our flow rate is roughly 7gpm for a five bedroom house.

Thanks Reach4 and Gsmith22! So after a bit more looking around the forums I learned I should also be researching ozone! This seems like a potential avenue for sterilizing/killing iron bacteria and other bacteria and not needing carbon for cleanup (which raised the issue of collecting radon...

Thanks for the input, but it's really persistent. This is an issue everyone in the neighborhood has, even after shocking the well and plumbing. I think it's something worth treating through filtration, then I'll also have extra protection against coliform and other junk. I do use the blow out...

Hi all, I'm looking to add and modify my current filtration circuit which consists of: 1) well tank 2) injection port with static mixer (stenner peristaltic pump pulls from tank with 2 parts water to 1 part 17% sodium hydroxide to raise pH) 3) retention tank (this is the one...

Thanks for telling me about your setup and experience with your sunroom/shed (maybe shunroom?) and mitsubishi mini split! Looks like a great setup. Can't wait to get our project rolling... permitting has been taking forever but should be cleared to build in the next couple weeks (just as the...

Of course, agreed on properly sizing, which is why I'm really diving into the numbers. When we relaxed things and let it be a little warmer when cooling on a really hot day it dropped to ~12k BTU/hr, more so curious if that means I should still do the 9k unit since it can still put out 12-13k...

Thanks for all of the great information! In addition to my last question I actually am curious about the HRV/ERV. Would this be in addition to the heat pump?

Sorry, I know this sat a while. Life happens... I have a friend who is an HVAC pro (he does commercial systems) run load calcs on my addition in his software. He's seeing 17,500BTU/hr cooling and 11,300BTU/hr heating for 72 deg inside with outside temp at 95F and 0F respectively. That's...

You’re great, I so appreciate you digging in on this with me. Honestly I called e comfort today and they ran their own calculation and told me 15k BTU… which I was suspicious about. I’ll try the tool again and see if I can get the room numbers. It has a weird requirement where the rooms you...

Thanks for the feedback, I totally agree, I'm convinced to ditch the ducted concept. Now just spec-ing out a ductless.

Interesting, thanks for the lead. I signed up for the site and am trying to do the calculation but it doesn't seem like the right tool for what I'm dealing with. They require a lot of information on the entire house (some that I don't know) and don't seem to have a direct way to size just for...

Any opinions or experience with LG? I'm leaning toward LA120HYV3 which has the heating that works down to pretty low temps. Are they reliable, parts available, easy to work on etc?

Any thoughts on doing a ductless unit in the upper corner where the picture currently shows the ducted unit? Will it effectively heat and cool the room volume including the far end of the room? It's roughly 20' long.

Sounds good, I'll look into that. Seems like a pretty easy addition before I tile the floor. Guessing I should insulate the space between floor joists from below too?

Thanks for reply. Generally the direction I was thinking, any particular unit you have in mind or recommend? Sorry, should’ve mentioned that it’s a raised addition so it’s generally 8-10’ above the ground. Are you recommending radiant heating in the floor?
