The diameter of the well seal on my well is approx 6.665" (6-11/16"). The OD of the pipe is just a hair smaller. What "size" is it ? Measured by taking the circumference of the seal since there is a pipe in the way :) -pete

I've getting close to start putting together all the parts for my little project. Inside will be a 'place holder' for a CSV (couple unions spaced for a future CSV1A, pressure tank, air/water mix tank, and an iron removal Fleck/tank. Except for the 1" PE pipe from the well that is so nicely...

The top of my well pipe is a few inches below grade. Eventually I will consider having a section of pipe welded on to raise things up, and change to a pitless fitting. I'm going to need to sterilize the well soon. The current setup does not give me access. The pipe is 6" steel, and the seal...

A upcoming part of my saga requires the well to be 'shocked' This is a property and its well that has not occupied for close to 15 years. One would not think that this would be a hassle but the previous installer in his wisdom "sealed" his work by slapping left over concrete all over the well...

I want to use the fill port on a tank head, and would like to get a couple of the plugs. It looks to be 1-3/4" but I can't identify the threads http://goo.gl/Sj18bP -pete

I'm looking at using a used Pentair fibreglass tank as a air/water reservoir for a Iron removal setup. The tank has a 4.5" manifold with two fittings I can't identify that have been added to the 1" NPT openings. A few pictures http://goo.gl/SxFjVm Not sure if they will come out easily, they...

My learning experience continues ... I believe my Fleck is a 2500, it mounts to the tank via a 2 bolt flange. I pulled the Fleck 'head' off the tank and now need to know how one removes the tank flange. Didn't want to try to unscrew it before getting advice...

Finally got to where I can get water out of the well for the first time in close to 10 years Major concern and looking for comments is on the condition of the pump First the well report Water free flow after a good 15 minutes With a Toro pressure/flow unit (came from Home Depot new in the...

Is there a rule of thumb for how much air needs to be injected into an iron removal system. Something like CFM (cubic feet/minute) per gallon of water ? Knowing it will vary based on the amount of iron in the water. Basically I'm thinking about replacing a hydro-charger/micronizer with a...

I'm rebuilding a wells plumbing. The pressure tanks fitting is a galvanized 1-1/4" FPT. The cast brass tank tee I've selected with a union, is 1-1/4" MPT to the tank. Should I be concerned about corrosion ? If so, I can't find a dielectric union of the right combination. The best I could...

Looking at options for adding water hammer arrestors to a Uponor (ProPex) setup. Suggestions on going from the brass MNPT of the arrestor to the pipes. So far only thing I can come up with is a Pex - Pex - Pex tee then a short nipple of pex pipe then a pex - female NPT. Have not found a...

Getting ready to change the galvanized with AquaPEX in my urban 1950's rancher with full basement (easy access to everything for a change!!!) I'm going to use 1" up to a manifold, but on the other side I can't decide if I should use 1/2 or 3/4 ? The coming summer I'll replace the line from...
