Can anyone confirm if this is a pitless adapter (see attached image)? If so, how would I go about removing it? Searching around on internet, it seems nearly all the pitless adapters have female threads at the top to thread a pipe into in order to pull it up. However, this doesn't appear to...

Hello all, It seems I've been reading a lot on this forum lately, so many thanks already! I'm trying to address a submersible well pump that is short-cycling (58sec on, 28sec off, @9-10.5GPM). I would like to solve the short-cycling in a manner that minimizes the long-term average operating...

I recently installed a new pressure tank and replaced the brass tee and associated components on my well. I've noticed that there seems to be a leak at the coupling between the threads of the brass tee and the threads on the pressure tank. The threads on the pressure tank are made of plastic. My...

I'm looking at the cap to my well trying to figure out how to remove the cap. I need to determine pump depth, and static water level. It looks like a bolt has been modified to allow water line to extend from the top of the cap. 1. is there a way to remove the modified bolt at the pvc pipe...

Hello, My wife and I moved into a house 3 years ago with bad water. We invested in a higher end Kinnetico system thinking we should nip it in the bud, but our water never really improved to the point we wanted it to. This spring after much frustration with the company that sold us that...

Our old pump is wearing out and won't build enough pressure to shut off, so it needs to be replaced. I would like to get more pressure than we have currently. My husband is deployed, his brother is willing to change the pump but doesn't know enough about them to recommend which one to get...

I’m having a strange problem with a shallow well pump I recently installed. I also pulled and replaced the driven pipe and point. The pump primes right up to 50 PSI and will hold indefinitely. On the discharge side I have a 1” tee which transitions to a 3/4” PVC line which then is reduced down...

First time home owner! The house has a well. Which has been pretty painless the last few years. Pressure started to seem a bit lower than normal, so I replaced my pressure tank, after thinking the air bladder went bad. (it was also a bit small, and very old. In hindsight, maybe wasnt but, but...

Hello everyone I’m new here and new to wells too, just successfully dug a 4.6mt bore hole for a submergible pump with compressed air and water having found very shallow water table. However, no matter how deep I go, after 3.6mt all I get is sand. I got the pipe deeper by 1 more meter (4.6)...

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...

Hi. I am new to this forum, though I have searched it a number of times. We bought a house on 8 acres about a year ago, 2 story and about 2700 daft with 2.5 baths. We are new to having wells. We have two wells, but the older we’ll was “turned off”, or so we thought, but it turns out the power...

We live in an old farmhouse in Central North Carolina, with a water well that has a 6-inch casing pipe, which was probably laid as early as 1940, or possibly as late as 1950, so it's at least 70 to 80 years old [and I'm guessing more like 80]. I'm assuming the casing pipe is steel, rather than...
