    Pressure flow pipe size question

    Thank you very much very helpful, since I will be the lookout tomorrow on this guy. Also, how does this connect to copper? Looks like I'll have to make sure he heats every connection also.

I don’t know how much, but uphill, and I would estimate just by the naked eye 3rd or 4th story higher then well... - info you mentioned, don’t know well setting, but I have observed 40psi on the gauge in...

    Pressure flow pipe size question

    Complicated question here but I’ll start: we have a well that feeds our Main house, (over 1 inch line, unsure) then goes to 3/4 in the basement, two filters and a neutralizer, then out running 3/4 line 225 ft winding uphill to a cottage. Pressure issue is up there. a guy dug the whole thing...
