Hi folks, Is it safe to put a 1" water meter between the output of a well pump and the pressure tank? Are there any dangers of pipe-shattering explosions if the meter gets jammed? If it matters, the meter is DAE-MJ100 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IZ6S1VU), rated for 150psi and has...

Hello! I'm hoping that someone here might be able to answer my question. Basically, I have been having intermittent issues with my septic system where the grinder pump will turn on, but it won't pump the water out of the septic tank and the water level will rise to the point it sets off the...

I've recently replaced my sprinkler system pump with a 1 HP shallow well pump from Harbor Freight. The pump turns on, runs and seems so far to maintain a prime. The problem is, it does not build any pressure; the pressure gauge stays at zero and only one sprinkler head runs. I also have an...

Hello, everyone. I read many pages so far this evening and would like to begin with some questions for guidance please. I have lived at my home for 3 years and I was told that there is a gravel well on my property. I have begun doing research this year to hopefully use the well to irrigate my...

We just installed an above ground tank because the inground water tank has a leak. We installed shutoff valves, so the tenants could decide if they wanted to use the above tank or the inground tank (when it's fixed). Whenever the above tank is used solely (the ground tank valve is closed), the...

Relatively newbie homeowner of an older 70s home with a pump and compressor tank and two hoses (one large, one smaller) that go down to the well. It's noisy, when the pump kicks in, sending out a high-pitched whining noise that can be heard on the 2nd floor. Not great water pressure and loud...

Hi, I recently (last week) moved in to a temporary new home with a well water system. I'm having issues with water pressure throughout the house and have watched countless videos on pressure tanks/switches/well systems and performed basic upkeep maintenance but am still having pressure issues...

I have a jet pump connected to a small pressure tank that is used to irrigate the garden from rainwater cisterns. The system is set for 30/50 psi cut on/off. If I run the irrigation fully open, the demand seems to be about 300 gal/hour, so 5 gal/min. This causes the pump to run continuously as...

My Flotec 30 gallon tank's bladder went and the tank was rusty so I purchased a Wellmate Pentair WM-9, 30 gallon fiberglass tank. I decided to purchase a new pump as well, seeing my pump was used 11 years ago when I moved into the house. I bought a 1hp Eco-Flo EFCWJ10. I replaced the tank...

We live on the frozen tundra of Illinois. I have what I believe is a 220 pump 65 feet deep. Pump stopped 2 weeks ago. YEAH, wife is TICKED! A couple of days after transferring power to another breaker. Pump ran fine, then stopped. The pump isn't the problem, as I can run it with a generator...

Hey everyone! I'm a long-time lurker (typically when sitting on my kitchen counter by the sink with my laptop and wet socks) and some of your posts have been the difference between keeping and selling my house. I bought what I thought was just a fixer-upper about 18 months ago...it's should've...

I have had a submersible pump on an artesian well. The pump burnt out and we have been running on just artesian power. We still have a good pressure tank etc. from the old system. I was wanting to install an on demand pump for taking showers etc. Would it be possible to tap into the line near...

Hello! We bought a house and moved in at the end of 2018. The previous owner has done 98% of the home build himself including all the plumbing and such. We are new to having a private well system. And lately we've noticed the well pump kicks on quite a bit. If we flush the toilet, it kicks...

Hi everyone, I installed a sewage pump (liberty pro 380) when I redid the chalet basement. I’m now at the step of connecting it to the main waste line, about 6 feet above. I’m trying to decide which check valve and ball valve I should use. For the CV, I’m considering the Zoeller 30-0151...

Septic alarm started sounding Friday and I found a very full gray water tank. I believe it is the pump that has gone bad. I bypassed the pump float and the pump will run, but it does not have the force to push it up to our sand mound. I have also tried to do my best to rinse out the inlet on...

Hi, I am trying to pump water from a lake and ran 1” PVC a year ago before doing the proper research. Beginning in the lake I have a filter 12” off the bottom, 5’ below the surface. Then a check valve. Then approx 80’ with a total rise of 10’. After the 80’ run, I have a 1HP Myers shallow...

Hello I bought a house with a water well its a deep water well with a submersible pump all was good for 10 years but the other day went to take a shower and had no water. I went to basement tripped the pressure cut off switch water would come on for about 30 seconds to a minute. I thought it was...

So this is an odd question, however hopefully somebody can help me. I have a self-cleaning litter box for my cats that has to be hooked up to a water source. Unfortunately my landlord will not permit me to hook it up to a water source in the house. So my thought was it might be possible to hook...
