well

We have a gravity fed water from a 1700 gallon holding tank connected to a shallow well. The faucet is about 3 feet up from the ground. We can fill a one gallon jug in 10 seconds but when we hook up a garden hose, the water just trickles out. Even when we run the hose downhill from the system...

Existing well pump, 3/4 hp approx 18 yrs old / brand new sediment filter, bladder tank, above ground lines, tee assembly, pressure switch, gauge - everything new above ground. Same switch as old setup - 40/60 - Bladder tank 20 to 32 gallons (slight upgrade from the old). No leaks anywhere...

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've lived on our property for about 4 years now. The well setup is weird and I didn't mess with it the first couple years until a pressure switch failed. The way they wired the pressure switch to the control box is this: They ran one leg of the 220V straight to the L1 of the control box, the...

Hello All, I have been having trouble with my Franklin Subdrive 2-Wire VFD recently. Whenever a inside fixture (faucet, sink, toilet flush) is used by itself I have noticed the pressure gauge shoots up to about 65-70PSI initially and then the flow sensor (2nd green light) turns off and pressure...

I recently bought a home and have never had a well. I noticed that the well seemed to be cycling to often, finally it went out. I replaced the pressure switch (30/50) and got it going again. The same problem persisted so I took the following step. Checked tank pressure after shutting the water...

Hi! New to the forum, glad to have found you folks. Seems like this might be the right place to ask some questions about what we're trying to do. We have a piece of property on the olympic peninsula that we're building out ourselves and we're attempting to run our three wire well pump off of a...

I've got a bladder type water storage tank (I think it's 30 gallon). It has an air/pressure valve (like a tire fill valve) on the top of the tank. The tank is located in a corner, with the water heater in front of it, and the furnace on the left of the storage tank. The wall/corner is behind...

Hey all, Was traveling and out of town when I get the news that our water won't work. called a local plumbing / well company that replaced our submersible pump almost 3 years ago, and sadly the mainline from the well to the house apparently broke or gave out or something, it might have been...

Hello there, We're having a bit of trouble with our well and water pressure, and I'm hoping you all might be willing to help us troubleshoot. This is a residential home with a well and a tank with a 40/60 pressure switch (photo attached). The home is around 20 years old, the pressure switch...

have a well and I believe the pressure tank is down in the casing. How can the pressure in this type of pressure tank be checked? Do they pull it out to check it?

I could use an expert's help. My Well-X-Trol (WX-251) is fine, but the drain on the tank tee is leaking, (and the packing nut is tightened all the way in). I was going to replace just the drain on the tank tee, but all of the plumbing is corroded, and I figured as long as I was going to drain...

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 am working on a well that is about 20' deep and we are not getting enough pressure to make a lawn sprinkler work. This system 20' well above ground 3/4 HP pump 10 gal pressure tank pressure switch is fixed type at 20 - 40 PSI We drained the tank of all water, then pressurized it to 18 PSI...

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...

My current setup is my submersible pump fills our two pressure tanks and that runs the house and irrigation together. I’m wanting to install a water storage tank to separate the irrigation portion of our system. How can I set it up so the submersible pump fills the 3k storage tank as well as our...

Hi all, we recently bought a new house and after moving in I noticed a spigot in the back yard but no water was flowing to it. After talking to a neighbor, they said the previous owner used to have a pump attached to it and watered his lawn with it and said he thinks it’s a point well...

We have a well in the middle of the drive way. We currently have a stone base and the weeds are becoming unmanageable. Don't want to put down Roundup, Weed Killer because of the well. We are getting older and want to pave the driveway. How close to the well can we pave? In other words, how...

Hello all, I'm new on here but this place has been very helpful. To give as much background as possible .....this will be a little long. I have an about 400ft well pump (no clue on model, just moved) with originally a 20gal wells troll pressure tank. Running on a 40/60 psi setup. About a...

We have a well and have had no issues. This year anytime we turn the irrigation on for the garden, the inside water turns dirty and sandy. Why would it do this?
