    Bad Check Valve? Pressure tank drains during power outage.

    I didn't anticipate that. Looks like I'll check both sides of the system before I start digging holes! Our filter & softener have Fleck 7000 SXT valves. Maybe they operate when the power is out and flushed one of the tanks? One of them has a flow indicator. That will be my first check. THANKS!!

    Well Filtering / Softener Recommendations?

    I've been waiting in the background while waiting for the results of my water analysis. I would sincerely appreciate your recommendations on the type of filtering we need for our well. We are building a new home and have not connected anything to the well yet. The well was installed in 2007 and...
