well

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...

I would be most grateful if you would give me a hand at figuring out the well/pump problem I’ve been experiencing the last 2 weeks. The pump circuit breaker trips under normal water demands for 2 people. Example: The circuit breaker trips and, consequently, cuts off the water after running the...

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...

Hello everyone! Im new to well pumps . I purchased one hell of a fixer upper and the first thing i noticed was the insane hydro bill! i run leds for all my lights so it can only really be traced back to our well pump. I have no info on the pump from the previous owner. All i know is that its a...

We moved in to a house with a well (Hardness 180+ ppm, Iron 5+ ppm, pH about 6.5) with iron bacteria. We have up to 1/2 acre of landscaping and garden (with drip irrigation) that we are preparing for spring and we need to get some kind of iron filtration so we can use drip irrigation and...

Quick question. I currently have a submersible pump going to a 35 gallon bladder tank which then feeds to our house. Can I add a aerator directly after the well pump, then use the pump in the aerator to go to the bladder tank and then go to the house? I am asking because setups that I've seen...

Hi, Having a big issue with water pressure, I have none. Haha Two days ago I went to take a shower and lost all water pressure. Shallow well pump in the basement was screaming due to a bad bearing so I know it was trying. Went to Lowes and bought a replacement pump, same model that was...

I am wondering what type of well and pump I have. My well is 30 foot deep so I assume I have a deep well submersible pump since I don't have a pump above ground. I don't understand this extra PVC pipe with a gate valve on it. It comes from the top of the cap and then goes back into the...
