pressure

I kept hearing the click of the switch every minute or so. I watched it for awhile and found it would switch on at 41 and off (arcs sometimes) at 60 (30 seconds). It loses pressure (takes a minute) until it switches on again. This goes on and on and on. There is no water running from any...

i am having trouble getting water up to a second pad on my property. Well depth: 100’ Water: 20’ Casing: 6” Pump: Starite 2hp/15GPM Elevation: 250’ (from well head, overestimated) Pipe size and length: 400’ @1-1/4 I am currently not using a tank or pressure switch because the pump should...

Hello everyone: I have a problem with my well that has me stumped. I recently replaced my pressure tank, pressure switch, and all the tank fittings, etc. The original switch was a 30/50 and I replaced it with a 40/60 to get a little more pressure in the house. After the install I flipped the...

Hi It's been ten years since I had my Valiant combi boiler looked at, it had been working perfectly fine, but I thought now is the time to get it serviced... big mistake.... A young gentleman came around to look at it. The first thing he did was remove the vertical pipe cover, and bashed one...

OK, I can't believe how difficult it has been to find information/know-how regarding what seems to be a very straight forward problem / solution. My current NG supply is 6 wc, which after making appliance additions to my residence now is inadequate (current demand is 400 BTU max for 6 NG...

I have 2 single-handle Delta shower controls in two showers in my house and neither one regulates the hot water correctly. I've cleaned and changed out the valves (RP19804), but this did not solve the problems. In one shower, pure hot water will not come out of the shower head (it only gets...

Hey folks, long time (8 years) well owner, first time trying to figure this issue out. First off, I am not too sure about specifics about my well, so please bear with me. My well is several hundred feet deep, and when used heavily for a day (multiple loads of laundry, showers, etc) it will...

I have two submersible wells. The most recent was drilled 3 years ago and is never used. A month ago I swapped 80 gallon pressure tanks (bladder type, I imagine -- shaped like upside-down plastic water bottles) between that and our primary well. I have noticed that the "new" pressure tank has...

I live in a condo and I've noticed that sometimes when I take a shower I have really strong water pressure, but other times it is much less. There is no consistency in time of day for when it is stronger and when it is weaker. Does anyone know what this may be and if it's something to worry about?

Hey Folks, Just thought I would pass this find along. I've been using simple calendar changeouts for water filters as well as using two standard pressure gauges for a while. This company makes some interesting filter status indicators that use differential pressure and seem to be a great...

Hello, My house has a dug well. A couple of days ago the water pressure went to zero while water was being used. I hit the reset on the pressure switch and it happened again a couple hours later. It has been getting worse since. Now pressure begins to drop immediately and is gone within...

I have an 83 gallon bladder tank that is almost 4 years old that is short cycling like a jackrabbit. I tried to empty the tank (nothing came out), checked the pressure (no pressure) and there is a condensation line at about 3/4 height of tank. Water will flow to the house while it's short...

System info: sub pump with check valve between water line from pump right before the tank tee, tank is a in pit that is about 6 feet from the well head and 20 feet from the house. The pressure switch is a 40/60 and is new as of the end of May 2016, the tank has recently been correctly...

Just moved into new apartment, 2nd floor of a 3 story brownstone (3 single bedroom apartments total). Water pressure in bathroom sink is terrible. Approx. 20% flow on both hot and cold. Bathroom shower has good pressure and toilet fills correctly. Pressure has no change when running hot and...

To start off I have had a sediment problem since I bought my home 1.5 years ago. I have a filter after the pressure tank, before my water heater etc. I have to change filters frequently due to sediment filling the filter and canister. A few days ago I changed my filter but still had a poor...

I have a 1 hp Flotec FP5162-08 controlled by an anolog intermatik timer box with a back yard canal as my source ( Florida). I has five zones with anywhere from 4 - 8 sprinklers in each zone. I initially noticed that I was loosing pressure in one zone, however if I cycled the all the zones, on...
