Hi, so I want to repair a couple leaks at my brothers house which is a somewhat older ranch. Its at the sink & below- in the basement. Seems its mixed sizing from 1/2" & a smaller size(3/8")? I never even knew they had such a size in pipe..not tubing. all the copper was brush painted to years ago?

Yea..I guess I just want to make sure I at least get it all cleaned once or so as a good measure. My wife n sister mopped the concrete floor & used toilet brushes around the edges and wall studs. They used straight bleach then cut it with water this past Sunday. Now I read vinegar gets deeper so...

We used bleach n water but I now find vinegar works better. I should be able to "reclean" with white vinegar now should'nt I?? Thanks

OK Terry, thank you!

In a week we had 15" or more of snow, then a quick thaw to continuous rain, then an ice storm WTF! My Liberty 1/2hp sub was overwhelmed and when I got up at 7:30 it was 3" deep and at 10:30 the pump finally caught up and cycled...So anyways, it sat for 6 days then a rapid cleanout. We then...

Hi & Happy Holidays! I installed a new 40gal 9yr GE (rheem) electric tank exactly 2 mos ago. Our water has recently(3-4 wks) been getting nasty with an ubtrusive sulpher smell, so I called rheem & she said "well system? add a chlorinator". I asked about a "different" anode rod & she said an...

This setup seems all set..wonder if the plumber has it working good?

I'll have to see where that chlorine line even goes? I dont see it going to the auto-trol valve/tank.

OK thanks. So this complete setup is just the 1 tank and the chlorine tank....

So is the chlorine in tank used to "clean" the media of minerals instead of a salt brine tank?

Thanks! At least now we can "control it" haha

Yea I noticed that too, its like 6 hrs off...I prolly wont mess with it..I figured all water treatment needed a salt/brine tank to clean media of minerals? So is the chlorine cleaning the media? or doesnt it need cleaning? His water is very crappy, someone said there is a lot of sulfar in that...

Seems this setup is missing a salt/brine tank?

My son's house water is bad, its an old farmhouse. It has a new chlorinator? well pump, hot water tank and a huge wellmate "holding tank"? and an old looking softener type deal tank with a big valve on top but there is no salt tank??? It is a hydroflo devive-blue tank? Can anyone shed some light...

Yea, OK..:) in fact, when I did the servicing I also removed the venturi/nozzle assy and cleaned. I think I'll check and make sure all is correct there too while I'm at it. Believe it or not, I did think for the next few days if the softener was working cause the salt level hadn't seemed to...

5yr.old Gould submersible in a 80' well. I just turn the power off to pump and drain tank then close petcock/valve, and fill tank..? I'll go check my psi precharge now...just checked tank, 30psi/ cut-in 32psi just as it should. I did just check on the old but upgraded anode which American Water...

I'm on a well, just a small whole house sediment filter($50.00 model) to a Sears water softener(new last year) I just drained the bladder(new a year or 2 ago) and then refilled..?

Oh...I didn't know that? I know the 6 yr tank has lasted 12 yrs.now:) I did have the co. send me another anode when new for rotten egg smell and kept the old one which was new anyway? That is how I got the current replacement I used.

2 weeks ago I drained HW tank and flushed repeatedly to remove all the anode rod junk (15x) I installed an anode rod. I also drained bladder tank and installed a new inline cartridge(12") and the water has been great! My shutoffs were somewhat seized from age/gunk? and I loosened the nuts to get...

Oh good then..:)
