pump

Not a question but thought I'd add this as a thing to look at if anyone else has this problem. So I bought my house recently with a well not knowing anything about wells or the well that it had. It had a 2 line jet system. I had a problem with it losing prime and decided I was comfortable with...

I am installing an irrigation system that will draw water from a lake. Total run will be 250 feet at a total elevation of 30 feet. What size submersible pump do I need and does anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate your time and expertise with this matter.

In our recently purchased approx 20 yr old house, we have an in-floor radiant heating system, that seems to work quite poorly, as in very slow to heat (like, half a day to get rooms up to temp). I suspect the previous owners either did not use it, or only used it supplementally. (house also has...

I'm looking for advice on the design of pump system to supply water to our house which is located at elevation on a mountain. The best solution would be our own private well, but drilling a well is not feasible due to the unknown cost and also because we are on a large granite mountain...

Forgive me if this question is unclear due to poor terminology. I'm new to pumps but am under the gun to get a new system installed. We currently have a Red Jacket "Submerga" 3 HP single phase pump sitting at 545 ft in a 560 ft well. It was installed in 1977 using a traditional installation...

We have a hi-efficiency, natural gas hot water heating system. The maintenance man said that our circulator pump was undersized for the size of the boiler. He said this would shorten the life of the boiler/pump. We don't have a problem with getting enough heat in the house. The house is almost...

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...

Will there be any significant loss in gpm by using 1" lined compared to 1 1/4" line from pump to pressure tank? Its only going to be used for irrigation. The pump has 1 1/4" outlet. Was gonna run that all the way to pressure tank but everything from there is 1" from tank to sprinklers. Not sure...

Hi, I am trying to build a portable sink. I bought a EcoPlus 185 Fixed Flow Submersible/Inline Pump 158 GPH - 728300 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018WVNXC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to pump water from a 7 gallon tank I have underneath a sink stand. I have one 6ft...

I want to replace the sand and carbon media in the tank and reseal this older unit for my Dad. I've read all the threads here on this model and watched all the YouTube videos I could find, and have downloaded the Super S installation/operators manual from several sources... But none of them...

Hello evryone, I live in a community that lives off a well that produces 55 gpm+, about 70 house. For years now water shuts off, pumps get fixed and water turn brown now and then. The system is made of a 350' well, 2 large reservoirs with min max sensors which shut off booster pumps if out of...

Hello, I just recently had the pressure regulator replace (30 - 50 psi). And all was working fine. Then the pump started cycling(every 5 seconds) when watering lawn. I went to check the pressure tank. When I did water was coming out of valve. So I replaced the pressure tank(set to 28 psi...

I've recently install a new pump and 2 pressure tanks. The installation is shown in the image. The pump is a Gould's J5S and the tanks are A.O. Smith's PM26 diaphragm tanks. At first, I installed only one tank. The pump came adjusted 30/50. I adjusted the pressure in the tank to 28psi. I...

We have a submersible well pump with a bladder pressure tank. A couple weeks ago the water pressure was pulsating. My brother added some air into the tank and the pulsating stopped. Saturday I turned on the water and the pressure was very low. It continued to decrease each time the water was...

Ok this might be a lengthy post but the picture pretty much explains my dilemma. I'm just baffled on how to free up and remove the pipe from the casing in this particular setup. I tried to upload a video but apparently the file is too big :/ Basically, the inner pipe with the pump...

Ok my cottage is on a hill 450 feet from the lake and about 80 feet vertical, today i pump using a Honda high pressure fire pump over black 1.5 pollly pipe up the hill into a 300Gal holding tank into the basement and then Jet pump the rest of the house from the tank.

Hello, We have a Krausmann 4300 pump, and we'd like to pump some liquids with a low pH. Specifically, the pH in question is around 3. Any clues as to if we'll be able to do it without issues or is the low pH going to cause trouble with seals or something else we can't think of right now? The...

The water to my house stopped flowing, at first I thought it was the pressure switch due to the inability of it to turn on when the breaker was on. I replaced the pressure switch, and flipped the breaker. The pump roared to life but after ten minutes there was not a trickle in the open faucets...

Hi, new here, home/farm owner with many projects to do. We are aspiring market gardeners, would like to do a small goat dairy, but for this summer we're setting up a 1/4 acre field of watermelons as they do well in our area and there is a market for local melons. For the moment what we need is...
