First, thanks for the advice on choosing a submersible pump and installing a CSV in the system. Everything works perfectly! Now the issue: Not exactly a new well but the well was drilled in early December just before everything got really cold and the snow started piling up (I live in upstate...

All, As the title says, I need a submersible pump for my new well. Back Story: Bought an Amish farm in 2012, had it plumbed, put in a bathroom and a septic system. The house is powered by an off grid solar/battery system. My inverter has a continuous output rating of 3600VA @120V. The inverter...

Water suppy will be from the cellar to the second floor. There is only room for a couple Pex lines up the the bathroom maybe more. I was thinking about...

Been awhile. I am finally in my Amish house and getting started in getting some services installed. Because of the location of the cistern/well the pressure tank will be on one side of the basement and the water heater and most of the requiremnts (bathroom/kitchen) will be on the other side of...

From my other post it was recommended that I use a submersible pump. I have a cistern that is ~24" deep. What kind of submersible can I use? Can a "standard" well submersible be used on its side?:confused: or are there short submersibles or are we talk the kind of submersible that I see used in...

First, I would like to commend you on a wonderful site. I have learned a lot by reading old posts. I'll get straight to it: I/we are purchasing an Amish home in upstate NY. For those of you that aren't familiar with the Amish that means no electric in the house and VERY minimal plumbing...
