We have a cabin in the mountains in Ruidoso, New Mexico that was homeowner-built (and poorly) in the mid-1070's. Set "pier & beam" style on a mountain, the underside of the cabin is enclosed by uninsulated walls (we call it the "basement"), but it and the plumbing pipes, etc... are exposed and...

I keep noticing the profile pic showing the tank with pipes below as being "wrong", and the one with the pipes above as being "right". I think I have the wrong one at my cabin. Thing is, I'm not sure what these tanks are, or what they are for. The one I have is about 20 gallon, by Sears...

The motor works just fine. 1) The Casing (1K333) is cracked where the pump was not drained properly and water froze inside, and then some time before I acquired it, the crack was welded badly. I've ground-down the bad weld to fully-expose the crack, in preparation for getting it welded...

I'm posting this here because you guys know a lot about just about everything. My situation is that I have power on one side of a concrete driveway, and I want to dig a hole about 12" deep (say 6" below the concrete) with a diameter big enough to run a piece of electrical conduit through it...

I dropped my Grundfos MQ3-45 off at the "Authorized Grundfos Service Center" for diagnosis a few weeks back. Long story short, the Service Manager says the reason why I couldn't get it to work was because I was connecting a pump wired for 230V to 115V, and that it tests good at his shop. My...

We've inherited a property and are in process of getting the shallow well working. It's been vacant/abandoned for about 8 years. I have 3 pumps. The first one is an old, broken Gould we found under the house. The metal of the pump housing is physically cracked; it looks like it might have...

Our cabin currently has an "Ace Hardware Countryman 501 Series" 115 VAC 40 gallon "Lowboy" (32" high) water heater. The tag on it says it was manufactured in 1988, it has rust on the outside and water is leaking down from on top. I can't say for certain that it's bad, but it's getting replaced...
