pressure drop

Hi all. I have a well that supplies water for irrigation and household use. I share the well with a neighbor but we each have our own booster pump from the holding tank. A few years back he had some construction done and they hit my main supply downstream of my booster pump, and flooded the...

Greetings -- I have a 1500 gallon underground cistern, which is fed by my shallow, low yield well (once an hour, water shoots over from well to the storage tank). I have a submerged pump in the storage tank that serves water to the two pressure tanks I have in the basement of the house. 60/40...

System works fine- cut-in/out pressures correct (45 seconds from cut-in to out), draw down OK (about 9 gal. 32 gal. Water Worker tank. But- considerable air in line pushed into tank at start-up. At cut out, pressure immediately drops about 2lbs. and then holds steady. Some water hammer at...

Hi everyone! this is my first post here in this forum, and I'm in no way an expert when it comes to water systems, but I'm in a predicament so I would really appreciate your help: I have a plain steel water tank (no bladder) and a couple months ago, after some water leaking problems where...

Hello all! First time poster, here. I've searched the forum and couldn't find my situation although I may have missed it. I just moved into a house built in 2011. City Water. During the home inspection, the inspector noticed a reduction in pressure/flow when the water is in use, especially...

I just replaced my Zurn-Wilkins 1-NR3XLDU 1" Pressure Reducing Valve as it was 12 years old and I wasn't happy with the pressure regulation. It would drop by as much as 10 psi from a 50psi set point depending on water flow. We're talking 2-1/2GPM from one shower, or 5GPM from two. This didn't...

I recently installed a new well pump when my 30+ year old Goulds 1/2 HP pump lost pressure after a melt down. I installed a Goulds GT10 irri-gator. The sole purpose of this pump is to run my irrigation. For some reason I just cannot get the pressure up. (insert cialis joke here) The heads run...

We just bought a home on a low-flow well. The previous owners said they got about 1 gallon/minute out of the well, so we arranged for storage tanks to be installed so we could use water normally. When we moved in, the pressure gauge on our pressure tank read about 60 psi. We could shower, run...

I have a 2nd story bathroom with 1/2" PEX running directly to the shower mixer from the 3/4" supply manifold downstairs (maybe 20 feet away). I installed a bar sink on the opposite side of the wet wall and installed a tee fitting with cinch clamps to tap into the 1/2" PEX lines that are...

I have a Stiebel Eltron solar hot water system approx 15 years old for which I've been doing most maintenance the past 7 or so years. The system slowly loses pressure - used to be over a period of a year or longer but now more like 3 months. When it does it eventually blows off steam on the...

I have a few problems but my current one is my pressure switch. My well is probably 50 years old. I'm certain the pump is not but a few weeks ago my pressure switch started acting up. I would lose pressure and have to go tap it with a wrench to get it started again. I replaced it last week. I am...

I have a grundfos sqe 1hp pump that was hooked to a CU301. I have just converted it to a PK1A cycle stop valve kit thinking maybe my controller was telling my pump to act the way it was. I have the same concern on both the CU301 and the CSV. My concern is that when you turn on water (lets say...
