I need to put a toliet in my detached garage I've just had built. It has a tiny bathroom with a small shower stall. The bathroom will not be used that much so I don't really feel like I need to put in a highend toliet. Any recommendations for a lower end model? I understand that it will...

Do I need to match a new well (shallow well, 20ft.) to a particular horsepower pump motor? The well point is 2" diameter and the screen part is 5 ft. I don't know the water output yet. I did hook it up to a 2" gas powered trash pump to see what I'd get in the way of sediment and the like...

Pump did not shut off after I used it. I cut power and then turned it back on and it shut off. I tried to adjust pressure switch but not much luck. Low pressure turn on is not right either. Does not turn on at high enough pressure. I adjusted high and low pressure some months ago and it...

What is the best type of pipe to use to run water supply from house to garage? I live in Charleston, SC so it does not get freezing cold very often.

From what I understand the difference between high and low pressure is supposed to be 20 psi. Why is that important, neccessary or whatever? My switch is factory set at 20psi-40psi. I installed a small 2 gallon tank and set pressure with tank empty at 18 psi. I set my high cut off...
