Hello I just purchased a new home. This well water thug is new to me. I started to notice a build up on valve screens such as my inlet valve, shower head screen. I have to take them out and clean them and all is good after. The build up is black and reminds me of an algae build up. I'm not sure...

We have a Culligan Super S that was installed when we bought the home. We had replaced the tank but it is time for that again. In addition, the backflush /purex part of the system is NOT working right. It pulls the entire bottle in one regen, and leaves the whole system smelling horrid. We are...

Hello folks. I'm hoping to get some advice here as the plumbers in my area that I've had out seem to not understand my rural water system. To start with, the actual problem I'm having is my pressure tank/well pump is short cycling. The stable (no draw) pressure is about 50 psi, but when there...

Let me start by saying I've been scouring the web to try and figure out what to do for my water situation. Only finding bits and pieces that pertain to me I thought it best to just lay out my situation and see if I could get answers here. I am CLEARLY not a plumber so I'll lay out as much...

So let me start from the beginning and get out everything I can tell you about this. Sorry if it gets long but I want to be complete as possible. So I have a 200 year old house. The well is probably nearly as old, hand dug, and rock lined. I wish I could tell you exactly how deep it is, and I...

Hello all. Is there any reason why the pipe going into the house from a submersible well pump would be vibrating slightly when the power is off? Vibrating enough that you can hear the humming of the vibration in the tank? I shut off the well pump breaker to diagnose something (and even...

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...

Well, I've got a well problem that is about to drive me mad. I've talked to the person who drilled the well three years ago and all they are doing is sending me around in circles. So, here is what I got: 2'' well drilled 130' deep with 10' screen at the bottom and static water level at 50' and...

I have a well and 4 year old tank. We tend to get a fair amount of sediment in our lines and the water is mildly hard. Should I be draining the tank periodically? Should I drain the electric water heater as well? If so, how often should this be done, and any special procedure to use

I will be putting a irrigation well in for my farm this coming spring. I'm hoping to achieve a flow rate of 100 GPM. We would also like to use this well for a future home. Can I use a CSV on the well for the mixed flow rates of my irrigation zones and then put a larger pressure tank in with...

Hi all - have a bit of a quandry. We have just built a house on a property with a shared well. The well is shared between 2 houses, and the original property (not ours) has a pressure tank installed, and they service the electricity to the well. We've checked for leaks on our end, and there...

Hi guys, Wish I found this forum a while ago. Not only could I have used some help installing my Bison pump, but I also have solar and geothermal. Nevertheless, we are moving and I have posted the shallow well Bison 2-piece hand pump for sale on eBay - it is new and unused, since I couldn't...
