Didn't have the pump but it will be sitting on the block but should give you a general idea.

The flustering thing is the pump should have no problem and I don't seem to have any leaks but something isn't right. Maybe it's air locked I will look at the priming.

The well is 30ft down with 20ft of water in it 1-1/4 pipe new point Goulds J7S jet pump. The pump whose tested last summer on another well and worked fine. The system will hold presser from the check valve threw the plumbing system don't think its a leak there. From the well point to the check...

Thanks guy's I think the well might be the problem. We sprinkled like normal and it did ok today pressure whose more stable but I see gauge is bad.

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with my new Goulds j10s. It seems to build pressure well if not using any water but shortly after the pump hits cut-on pressure when using the sprinkler it will drop from 30psi to like 20psi with surges to 30psi. I'm using 1 oscillating lawn sprinkler trying to...

My cheep jet pump finely died and would like to get a good setup this time. If I remember right the well tank is just to control the pressure gage and for small amounts of water. Since it a garden sprinkler system and I don't use small amounts of water all the time. Can I use a 2 gallon bladder...

Correct any electric motor in fact. Just thought that the system whose designed to cycle at 40/60. I'm 100% ok with it just think its odd and won't to double check my work. Thanks,

When system is in use the pump never reaches the cut of pressure of 60 instead it will stay around 55psi (depending on how much water I'm using). Everything else seems to be working grate. Is that because I reached the perfect recovery rate of the pump? It worked fine at 30/50. Pump - Goulds...

I believe you are getting there. Ideal you should should be getting several gallons of water per minute with your pitcher pump. It seems to be driving easy I would go another 5ft then see what kind of water you can pump. The more water the well will take the better it will produce. The first 50...

What model of CSV would you recommend? Will the 4.4 gallon tank work for this?

At the moment I have a new 1 1/4 driven well with the known spects bellow. I'm planing on installing a sprinkler system in the next several years but for the moment will be using 2 oscillating sprinklers at the same time. I'm looking at the Goulds J7S or J5SH. With this information can you make...

I'm going to install a shallow well jet pump and looking for a check valve the spring presser on most are very light maybe 1 pound. The plumbing store sells a 5lb check valve that is PVC instead of brass for much higher cost are these the way to go?

Thanks, "leaky footvalve" You mean a check valve right? This is a shallow well jet pump.

I have a Simer 2802E well pump and it's pumping grate at 7 gallons a minute. But when you close the facet it will rapidly and repeatedly cycle on and off. Dues that sound like a leak? Would it be on the suction side or presser side?

Thanks for the fast reply. My situation is the trap is plunged up and in trying to remove the clean out plug with no luck the part in the photo come loose just like you see it. No nut farrow or anything I guess just sitting with putty for the least 20 years +. What will I need to fix that...

In the attached photos what kind of fittings would I need to attach a plastic trap that should pass code to the shower drain? I wont to start with plastic at the loose connection. Link: http://www.gunco.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=16048&ppuser=821...

We only use the pump for irrigation and have had this problem for years but it seems to be getting worse. I installed a new presser switch and gage because the old switch ruptured sow I know these are good. The problem is the Well will cutoff at 30psi when not using water but when we start to...

Thanks. I just thought to check while I have it all apart

If there is no hammering noticeable in a shower is it still smart to install SouixChief hammer arresters in the system? Is there any code requirements in new and old installations? What are you recommendations?

I didn't think PP had a lifetime warranty on their parts just on the finish. That’s good to now sow buy the time you read this I should have one in my hands. Thanks for the advice
