I plumbed up my whole house 7 years ago with Pex type B. All the pipes are in the walls except for the basement. At the time of purchase the only warning was to not expose the pex to more than 30 days of UV sunlight. Today I watched a video that said you should not expose any pex to Uv light...

I have a CSV installed now for 7years. I’ve noticed that there is a rattle noise when pump is running. Everything works properly. 3/4 hp 10Gpm pump set at 300 ft in 320 ft well 5ft static level produces 4GPM. One thing I noticed is the valve is installed up side down. Adjustment screw is down...

You have a neutral to ground fault will cause a GFCI to trip. Take a meter disconnect the the wires at the well head (power off) test for continuity between white and green (or bare copper) wires any reading other than infinity can cause the GFCI to trip. If that reading is good then the 7500...

No bleeders used I was taught that you need bleeder valves in a Monoflow system I have a one loop per zone

I’ve got a Weil McClain 7 year old propane fired high efficiency boiler. All summer it runs and produces domestic hot water to a 50 gal indirect tank. The piping for 5 zones is copper at the boiler then oxygen proof 3/4 inch pex throughout the house. Every year when there is a call for heat...

Now that most supply lines to sinks and toilets are of the pre made stainless steel covered vinyl tube inside what’s the lifespan before they need to be replaced? Manufacturers say when they leak!! I’m on a well with max pressure of 65 psi no leaks but should I change them say 10 years of...

With supply shortages and prices skyrocketing I decided to purchase a new goulds pump/motor as a replacement for my 7 year unknown brand pump. How do I store this pump to have it ready to go when time to replace old one? I would also like to test the new one before storage. Is a clean garbage...

Yes there is air coming out when I bleed the individual zones. Two story home 5 heating zones about 1800 sq ft.

The pressure not running is 15 psi at temperature of 180deg is 20 psi. I leave the fill valve off to avoid a flood in the basement. I did replace the expansion tank about 60 days ago. I unfortunately didn’t check the pressure it was a rush job the old extrol tank was pissing out the side of...

My system is 7 yrs old w/a He90 Weil McLain propane boiler. This boiler has two circulator pumps in the boiler housing. Starting this heating season the 1st floor rads gurgling only in the morning when the programmable Tstat call’s for heat. There is a spirovent vent but I’m guessing it’s...

I checked the current with pump running and one leg was 7.3A the other was 7.6A. I have a CSV and as the pressure builds up to 70psi the current dropped to 6A. Would you suggest a replacement pump soon or now before it dies completely? Not sure how long it will take to get a pump that I need...

The pump saver is a device to save the pump from running dry for a low yield well. Never had it trip due to no water Only over current draw means motor is drawing too much current. But does not say if during start up or while running

I’ve got a pump saver plus 233P-1.5 installed between the 240 volt disconnect and the pressure switch then to a 3/4 Hp submersible pump set at 300 feet. About 3 years ago installed The last two weeks it’s been shutting down the pump with a over current at random times. No real heavy water use...

This one stumped me. In my m bathroom there are two sinks 2 feet apart. The faucets are the same Moen single handle 5 years old. The left faucet the water comes out cloudy and the right faucet water is clear. I’m on well water with 400 TDS and the plumbing is pex 5 years old. There’s a 1/2 inch...

Thank you so much. That combo of motor/pump is perfect. I’m now on a fixed income stage of life and some quotes of $800-1000 are outa control Last question do you prefer a brass or s/s 1 1/4 to 1 inch barb fitting at the pump? My down pipe is 1inch black ploy pipe. Be safe

Good morning I was thinking that a single pipe centrifugal pump would pull up 50 gallons of water not 50gpm till the static level goes below 24 feet How would I find a distributor that would sell me the Franklin motor and grundfos pump separately? They always sell as a set to up the price. I...

I figured that a shallow well single pipe pump would pull maybe 50 gallons. I’m 1600 ft above sea level I understand your write up about Gould motors may still have problems. So now that you know my set up what pump/motor would you recommend? Think of this if it were your home. I’m in a rural...

Thank you for your help and knowledge. Why do I read all over the internet that Gould’s pumps are built like crap to last 3-5 years at most ? If I decide to buy a pump as a backup how would I know where to add water/fluid to maintain the pump seals?

you’re correct have not run out of water I irrigate my lawn/garden from my lake I’m asking to have a spare brand name pump on hand for the it’s snowing and the pump died Our lake does freeze . I’ll need my well driller to pull the old pump. Trying to save time. Also other than warranty can I...
