Thanks valveman. Does that mean if it takes 3 or 4 minutes for the water to drain down to static level, most likely my screen is clogged? Pretty sure I'm in sand bearing water area, 20 feet puts me down to surrounding lake level.

I'm at a loss for ideas. I have a shallow 2" sand point well adjacent to a lake in Northern Wisconsin. The well point is down 22.5 feet and water in pipe is at 7.75 feet from the surface. I have a check valve between the pump and the 2" well casing. I have a 1 hp shallow well pump. On...

Was having trouble with Red Lion 1.5 hp sprinkler pump not putting out enough water. I pump water out of the lake to water the lawn. Took it apart and found a twig in the impeller. Reassembled the pump and now I have water leaking out of the two little rectangular holes on the bottom of the...

ballvalve, thanks so much. A quick trip to the hardware store yesterday, came home and installed 1.25 inch check valve in radiant heat system feed line. Fired up the system and it works fine now, the heater only kicks on after significant demand, not every 15 minutes like before. Big thank...

Ballvalve.....I think I now know why the heater is cycling so much. This A.M. I turned off my radiant system via the valves between the system and the hot water heater port for heating system( the heater has a separate discharge port for dhw). I left the dhw port on. The heater has not fired...

thanks ball valve, and jadnashua Where do I put the check valve(s) and heat trap(s). Obviously I feed both my dhw system and my radiant floor system with the heater. The heater does have two discharge ports to handle each system. If I put in check valves, do I need to have pressure tank(s)...

I read with interest cloves, ballvalve, and other comments in the HVAC thread on using polaris hot water heater for both dhw and radiant heat system. I installed a polaris last January and it provides hotwater for both my heating system and my dhw needs. I have three zones, two mixing...

Thanks muldoon, you hit it right on the head. Today I killed the main electrical and took the cover off the electrical box. I then removed the dual 30 amp breakers and one wire came out right away. I put the wire back in and tightened up the screws on both breakers and reapplied in box. Ran...

10 gauge wire. I've never been aware the pump motor has kicked off on an overload. Probably I would have noticed that. I'm also not aware the pump gets physically hot, it is stuck underneath a cabinet and at the corner of two very cold concrete walls. I will check wire attachments tomorrow...

Probably a simple question for those in the know, which isn't me. I have a .5 hp Flotec inexpensive shallow well suction pump pumping out of a 1.5 inch driven well in sand country about 75 feet from a fluctuating reservoir lake. The system has worked well for about 5 years. Now I am having a...

chapter two, hot water heaters on the blink Just for ----- and giggles I decided to call the richmond warranty line today to see if my water heaters were still covered by any warranty. Of course they run you through some trouble shooting steps. Both of my heaters are covered but this is what...

robert shaw gas control valves My heaters have Robert Shaw R110 RTSP valves. I see lots of those for sale but some have a different number like 66 176 368. Can I buy any R110RTSP valve? What does the other number mean?? Thanks

I have two hot water heaters, one is for heating, the other for domestic hot water. On Labor day I noticed no hot water. I checked the heater, pilot was out. So I lit the pilot and turned the heater to on. Watched as the heater fired up. An hour later, still no hot water. I checked the...
