pump

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...

I currently have a Grundfos UP15-42F recirculating pump on my boiler. There are 3 branches (all on the same zone) throughout the house. The branch with longest run and the most radiators does not get near as warm as the other 2 branches when the heat is not on for very long (> 60 min as when...

Every now and again (maybe once a month?) I hear a loud strong rumble that shakes the house a little. I even felt it while sitting out in my backyard once. Felt like a little earthquake! Not sure what it is or how to begin diagnosing it. Any ideas? We are on a well. Thanks!

Hi, I have one grout tanks which is controlled by PLC in control system panel. This control will ensure that when the tank is empty, grout will be pumped in to refill the tank. This tank has level sensor send signal to PLC, and this PLC will command the valve of the tank to open. When signal...

Hi Everyone, I'm diagnosing a well issue. Long story short a splice broke in the supply line from the well to house. Introduced a lots of fines over the years... (don't ask, that's the long story.) I found the broken splice and repaired it. We've been flushing the system for a couple of...

My irrigation system is powered by a shallow well. I live in south Florida. A few months ago my pump seized up. It was 1hp. I hadn’t noticed there was a problem until I saw some brown/dry spots in my yard. I replaced it with a 3/4hp that I got a good deal on, hoping it work. It worked, but...

I recently had a well drilled. We went 760' with only 1 GPM. I hydrofractured the well and the flow went up to 16 GPM. At 140' he was pumping 16GPM and the water level remained flat. The static water level is about 30'. My irrigation system was designed on city water at 14 GPM and 60psi...

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...

Have a submersible pump (unknown HP on pump as I have not pulled it yet), 32 gallon tank, 40/60 pressure switch. Question is; from pump cut in to pump cut off it takes about 9 minutes with no water running in house (main shut off valve to huse closed). With a 32 gallon tank, I'm only storing 8...

Hi All, During Hurricane Harvey my home flooded, and the pressure tank on my water well floated, and broke the well head, casing, etc. I have a packer well system, with a 3/4 hp horizontal pump, that has a 2" casing, and a 1 1/4" inner pipe. I repaired the broken casing with a 2" coupler and...

Hello! I purchased a home 4 months ago, and included septic work in my contract when the system failed inspection. I'm currently having an issue (the red warning light went on advising me that I had high water levels). This is a photo of the inside of my pit. I see there is a plug inside the...
