    Can I temporarily replace a leaking 32 gallon pressure tank with a smaller tank?

    I read up on that last night. I'm not really acquainted with the technology, but am intrigued. Do you have any experience with the CSV? Is it only sold by the manufacturer or can you get it elsewhere as well?

    Can I temporarily replace a leaking 32 gallon pressure tank with a smaller tank?

    Alright, thank you for suggestions! Maybe somebody else will chime in. Edit: Sorry, I missed the second part of your reply. That is a good idea to get water to the toilets. Unfortunately I don't have access to the information about the pump right now. All I can tell you is that my well is 125...

    Can I temporarily replace a leaking 32 gallon pressure tank with a smaller tank?

    The issue is not the size of the door, but the spot inside my house where the unit is supposed to go. The problem with using the bigger tank outside in the yard is, that I don't want to keep the unit and won't be able to return it once I had it in use. You would help me greatly if you could...

    Can I temporarily replace a leaking 32 gallon pressure tank with a smaller tank?

    Thanks for your suggestions. The problem is that all stores I can reach only have the unit that I already bought (the one with the wrong dimensions), or bigger. I might have mixed those up, the unit I have is a diaphragm type tank (MPD31).

    Can I temporarily replace a leaking 32 gallon pressure tank with a smaller tank?

    Hey Reach4, thanks for taking the time to reply! Unfortunately the leak is big and external, so I don't think I can pump air into the tank. Regarding the smaller pressure tank: My thought was that I could actually install it in place of the 32 gallon one for a day or two, not use the creek water...

    Can I temporarily replace a leaking 32 gallon pressure tank with a smaller tank?

    My Myers MPD31 hydro-pneumatic 32 gallon pressure tank sprung a leak yesterday and needs to be replaced. I already bought a replacement unit but found out at home that its diameter is too wide for the spot where it is supposed to be installed. Unfortunately I won't be able to get a fitting unit...

    What the ?!@# is wrong with this valve body?

    Sounds great. I will remove it then, and restore unimpeded flow to the shower head.. as it should be :) Can't quite understand how this happens with all new plumbing (the old building had none), with whole house sediment filters in place, plus an additional spin down filter. Just wasn't much in...

    What the ?!@# is wrong with this valve body?

    Thank you for responding. I soaked it in vinegar and with repeated blowing, rinsing and rapping on it was able to remove VERY fine particles that were around the round disc (underneath) and not much... really. But it opened up the passageway. Unbelievable that there is a huge plastic plug that...

    What the ?!@# is wrong with this valve body?

    I had this American Standard 2-handle shower (1042) roughed in several years ago, in a custom sized shower with another station available. This unit never worked (no water to riser, but water to both handles). American Standard sent me new cartridges, so that wasn't it. I finally ripped out the...
