I need to re-media my Ecowater ETF 2100-PF10 multipurpose filter. The housing is 10 x 47". The last time I bought activated carbon, it was coconut something or other. I was surprised at how dusty it was when I opened the UPS box. I had to clean out the downstream softener venturi several...

I want to replace the old tablet feeder on the well with a liquid system in the basement. Stenner pump or similar. There are several online feed calculators in addition to the Stenner manual, but I get mixed up when I look at their total consumption. I plan to inject after the pressure tank...

I am ready to replace my wellhead chlorine tablet dispenser with a Stenner pump. I'll do this in my basement and need a contact tank to allow treatment time. Official fiberglass treatment tanks look expensive. I'm wondering about picking up a used water heater for free or cheap and using it...
