I have a 9 inch katalox with a Genesis head. Just upgraded to a 10gpm submersible pump from my 5gpm jetpump. I did a manual backwash on the katalox and noticed it's pulling VERY slowly, it used to make a big WOOSH sound and was clearly flowing fast (I haven't done a manual cycle in a long time...

Hi all. My jet pump is in my finished basement closet and is LOUD.. Looking to change to a submersible pump in the Spring (also hoping to up my flow rate a bit for my maze of filters..)

I’m trying to clean Up/organize my water filter system because it’s an unsightly mess. In doing this I’ll need to add in a number of PEX elbows to go between my 4 backwash filters. 3/4 copper supply. My biggest concern is drop of flow rate as these backwash filters need at least 5 gpm flow to...

First, I'm new to this so bear with me please. I have a 16' dug well and currently have a 4.5 GPM flow rate that is inadequate for my filtration systems. Looking to boost this up to at least 7 GPM. I have a jet pump in my basement. My well has never run dry, so I'm hoping to raise my GPM by...

Hi everyone. Our water's dirty. We built a house ~2.5 years ago in southern Maine along with a newly dug well ~16 ft and significant excavation around it. The last 2.5 years has been a DIY water nightmare that I'm hoping to (finally) win. In this 2.5 years we've had two children and I want...
