Thank you! I feel less anxious about causing more harm to my well system AND I can reduce the wait time and stress (ithe well water company has a history of not returning calls or emails). I can rewatch your video and have confidence.
ОтветитьAwesome helpful video! I am moving to a house with a well that hasnt been used in a bit. All your info was straight-forward and useful! Thank you! Thumbs up@
ОтветитьSuch a great and informative video! Thanks so much for your knowledge!
ОтветитьMy question is this,,,will a pump that is set for 30/50,can i use a check valve that is 40/60? Will a 40/60check valve wotk on a pump that is rated for 30/50?
ОтветитьIn a power outage, how many times can you flush the toilet, before you run out of water?
ОтветитьThank you!
ОтветитьThanks man! Flicking the contacts worked. Whew. Saved my night.
ОтветитьJust tried doing this but no water drained out :-(
ОтветитьReplaced my filter, still no water
ОтветитьCouldnt go with out leaving a big thank you here. Our water was sputtering thought the house. Followed your instructions to a T, come to find out I was holding 20psi at my tank. Filled it to 35, all is well. Great video, you just saved me hundreds in having to call someone out, and I learned a lot about my system at the same time. Cheers!
ОтветитьA better explanation than two others I watched. My tank is 12 yrs old. It is a WellMate WM-9. I haven't checked it yet and now I know how. I haven't watched your longer vid but will do that now.
ОтветитьI do this an my pressure gauge goes up an down for awhile from the min cut in and count out specs and eventually stops. Idk what’s wrong
ОтветитьSo when my water pump kicks on i can hear a oule under the house hit sonething. It doesnt do it all ge tine but it does it i would say 40% if the time. Soecifically when i am taking a shower in my guest bath. I dont rhink its from too much oressure because all my faucests di t have the oressure i was hoping to get after ny new pump was installed. Going to check the oressure kike yiu did here. Any thouvgts? What could be causing the low water oressure and the oupes banging tge floor joists under the house? Thabks for the videos!!
ОтветитьQuestion.. we installed a new water pump primed it and everything.. theres no water preasure from deep well to pump..i believe plumber said it was at 5 for pressure ( i have no idea i juat remembering hearing 5 ) its a old well all original stuff.. now we took old pump on put new pump on still no preasure.. is there a leak in the pipe running from well and house? So frustratingggg.. and expensive this is nutssss
ОтветитьDraind tank of water.. guage said 0.. made sure the tank has 28 pounds of air pressure.. filled tank back up with water n guage now says 60. I checked the tank air pressure after it was filled back up with water n it reads 59... but my water pressure inside the house is still half of what most normal house sinks are at in water pressure coming out of the faucet. Is my water pressure switch thats needing adjusted then to get the water pressure coming out of the sinks in the house up to par? But don't the tank pressure tell the switch when you come on n when to shut off? My dumbass is a just a lil 🌽fused now.. lol any help would be much appreciated. It's 9-04-2023. I'll b checking back daily until I hopefully get a reply. Thank you!
ОтветитьPlease help! My well pump pressurizes my system to 50 psi, when I take a shower or run water it falls all the way down to 25 psi and then the well pump kicks on and it goes back to 50 and repeats back to 25 etc. I guess the next step is to check if the bladder tank has any air in it.
ОтветитьGave you a thumbs up. I am seeing low pressure at the guage near the "Well T". How do I know if its my pump or water softener setup?
ОтветитьThanks for sharing..
I have the same well T manifold setup.
I’m trying to figure out which pipe is from the well and which pipe is going inside the house.
What I’m going to try to do is this…
Turn shut off valve to close. Then turn on water on bathtub and sinks. If the pressure gauge goes down while the water is on in the bathtub, I would assume the pipe on the left is going inside the house.
Is this correct?
I have a 30-50 have 28 PSI cut in pressure but when filling the tank it only goes up to 40 PSI . I run out of water and pressure tank is empty by just doing a small wash, Any help would be great
ОтветитьBecause of your generosity of information I fixed my problem! My pressure tank was a 23PSI. I pumped it up to 28PSI after checking the tank to see if it was full, which it wasn't. Then I checked the pressure regulator. Made sure it had power then made the contacts connected and everything worked. So in the end it was the pressure switch not kicking back on after a power outage.
ОтветитьI have 100 psi air blader tank with 40)60 pressure relef valve. Setting air psi 38 .30amp submersible pump
ОтветитьExcellent video clear and safe well diagnostics .
Ответитьgreat
ОтветитьThank you, I'm in my 60's and hung drywall for over 30 years after serving in the army in the 70's so I am not really good in your field. That said my bride and I are deep in the mountains of NC/TN and I did just what you showed..... Praise the LORD I was ready to call the Well folks, you sir saved my bacon and my better half thinks I'm MacGyver so again thank you and you are officially on my subscriptions. Blessings
ОтветитьMy well will run when I'm using the hose and then just stop and start back again. It's almost like a pulse. It does it multiple times when in use.
ОтветитьThank you, you illustrated this procedure so clearly. I hadn't done this for 30 years, I'm a little worried, but my pressure in the shower seems to fluctuate, so i need to do it !
ОтветитьWhat gauge and hose did you use? Idk what to buy.
ОтветитьIs a pressure reducer mandatory on a system for your house? I have really good pressure at the tank but after the pressure reducer I don’t. I’ve replaced it and opened it as far as it goes and it still is a problem.
ОтветитьVery good and clear thanks . From Ireland
ОтветитьI was told that you shouldn’t shut the well off at the breaker and that it’s bad for the system. Instead you should turn it off at the actual well point (the part you normally keep under a fake rock or something else) is this true?
ОтветитьSince moving into our new home from a city system to a well system I always felt that the water pressure was just a tad low. Figured there was nothing to be done about it until this video auto played after one of your Great lawn videos. Watched the video and made the adjustments and wouldnt you know we have great water pressure now!!! Only thing ill add is I tried a bike pump first and it made little to no dent in the pressure of the tank so i whipped out the air compressor and that did the trick.
ОтветитьThe dad we all needed and never had.
ОтветитьMy blue tank has no air? When I press on the pin, I get no air coming out?
ОтветитьEasily the best video on well tanks…
I still don’t know what the hell I’m doing but at least I can check the pressure in the tank and for that, I thank you sir!
So, I have done this several times over my 66 years; but I always read [in the old days] up [now, I simply watched both of your EXCELLENT videos]. I have a two-story home, on a well, 60' away from the pressure tank and well head. My pressure was dropping to ZERO for 30-45secs before the switch kicked on. So, I [checked the pressure tank pressure [as instructed], it was at 35psi. I decided to replace the 50-70switch with a 60-80 Merrill heavy duty. I set my pressure tank to 58psi. I installed the 60-80 switch. It would not cut off. My safety valve opens at 90psi [nice to remember -I installed it 10 years ago]. I reduced the cut in/cut out side by 3 full turns, NADA! I loosened the cut off switch completely, NADA. It would not cut off. Plus my pressure gauge was no longer working [thankfully, I had another]. I was STUMPED! STUMPED ! STUMPED! But, I pulled the pressure gauge, and inserted a stiff 8 gauge wire into the pressure gauge/pressure valve coupling. COMPLETELY BLOCKED by lime/scale due to our very, very hard water. I reamed it out, blew it out, twice. Reinstalled all...WORKS PERFECTLY!! 58psi cut in, 70psi cut off. Which FINALLY gives us decent pressure upstairs in the shower. Thanks for your videos, they coached me along PERFECTLY!! Ps... Next plumbing supplies I need, I will try to buy from you.
ОтветитьIt actually depends on your pressure cut off switch . It should read 2 psi less that the switches low side.
ОтветитьI need to give air to my 100 liter pressure tanks so how much air will I give.
Please help me
Can someone help me
ОтветитьHow much will 100 liter pressure tanks will get...?
ОтветитьI knew it. I knew I did something wrong not turning the water off to the house. Exactly the vid I was looking for. After turning the supply off to house I still need to open a faucet to let the air out, no?
ОтветитьDo I close the valve before adding air?
ОтветитьIf I need to add air. Do I remove the water hose?
ОтветитьThank you. You have explained thoroughly. You have save me money and time today. Thank so much! I appreciated your video.
ОтветитьNo videos out there of why your water can't keep up during partys...
Example...
A birthday party with a balloon waterside, toilet flushing, kitchen food prepping etc. After about 15-minute or so I loose pressure to a point I have to shut the water off to give the well time to catch up. Is my pump motor going bad or to week... I just don't know
2 psi less your cut on rate so on a 20/40 switch 18 psi, on a 30/50 switch tank at 28 psi, on a 40/60 switch 38 psi in the tank.
ОтветитьThanks for sharing your knowledge very well explained. Happy Trails!
ОтветитьInstead of turning the valve off to the house my husband instead emptied the water lines in the house & didn't empty the tank. Now we have no cold water pressure in 3 sinks & a bathtub.
ОтветитьMy water well (70' deep) is 100' away from the house, where do I install the pump and the tank? Can I install a external pump (3/4) and the pressure tank (30 gpm) inside the utility room?🤔🤔🤔 what is a good setup (pump and tank) for a 2 bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room and utility hose?
ОтветитьHow does 1 fill an empty tank?
