Bad, IMO. With other fixtures, the main job of the vent is to prevent the trap from siphoning. You want a toilet to siphon. So in the rare case where a vent problem makes a toilet not flush well, it is not the only problem. The pipes should have a clear path to the roof to let the slug of...

Pressure drop after the storage tank runs dry should be expected, don't you think? In filling a cistern, a pump-up float switch, as you have, controls the well pump. A pump-down float switch can be added to inhibit the pressure pump when the cistern runs dry.

I would flush some more. 48 hours continuously, or 15 minutes per hour? Not sure. Did you sanitize? https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/well-sanitizing-extra-attention-to-4-inch-casing.65845/ is my write-up. I am not saying sanitizing addresses what you are posting about, but while...

Just curious: when you change between 120 or 240, is there a jumper/switch change a the injection pump? Or the pump just takes a wide range of voltages?

Functionally, no difference, but screw hole centers are 6.125 inches. I am surprised the OD would be a full 6 inches.

You could also install an outlet in line. What plug is there? Nema 6-15P? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

Did you tighten the tank enough to where you almost had 3-point contact, with only a thin business card gap on one point while you press the tank away from that contact point? Bolting a tank tight enough is a big deal. Maybe start by tightening the high side.

Could your plunging have forced solids into the siphon jet?

That repair device does not seem to have a way of screwing the closet flange down. If you could get a closet flange in place held only by glue or compression, maybe you could put a Danco Hydroseat above that to take the hold-down force. But a repair ring with ears could also let you provide hold...

The important part of your photo seems to out of focus. Maybe hold the phone closer, and take that closet flange out of the photo.

Glad it is loose. I would have suggested two longer wrenches. With the handles slightly offset from each other, you can pry between the handles.

Have you tried triggering an immediate regeneration? For all I know, pressing the REGEN button for 10 secs may be the way to trigger an immediate regeneration, in which case, my comment will be of no help. Pressing the button for something like 5 seconds would be how you would do it on a Fleck...

NC uses IPC. See https://www.iccsafe.org/wp-content/uploads/20-18927_GR_2021_Plumbing_Venting_Brochure.pdf On the bottom of page 12, see the two lavatories draining into a double fixture fitting. After the output of the trap, the pipe cannot turn down until after the trap is vented. This could...

I would use up the salt mostly, and then clean the brine tank. If it has been a few years since you cleaned your tank, it may have been due anyway. Somebody else may have different information for you.

1. Previous owner may have neglected to get the tank pumped, and the leach field clogged. 2. Turn off the stop valve that feeds the toilet that has the leaky flapper. Time how long it takes for the water to drop 3 inches. Then measure how much water it takes to return the water level to where...

I was thinking Plaster of Paris is water soluble with time but searching comes up with many suggestions other than straight water. Removal is a possibility.

KL in a 12 inch tank should have about I suspect your backwash water is maybe 20C give or take, so I think you would want about 14 gpm. Your pump may or may not be able to keep up with that. Backpressure from your calcite tank may limit flow. Also, KL media does not have really long life...

I agree. I do think that vacuum cleaners that say "6.0 Peak HP" are being dishonest.

Maybe, maybe not. Turn on all of your hoses and run water to the ditch. See if the water drops enough. to gather data. Once the old pump is pulled, that will not be available. So the reinsertion of the pitless adapter would have to be by feel. The plumber would carefully mark which way the shoe...
