    Re: Question about having to reset pump

    I had a similar problem once. It turned out the insulation had rubbed off the wires where they entered the conduit from box sitting on top of well. Good drillers are not always good electricians. ...

    I think I saw the same deer. Only two though. Got one picture but not as good as yours. I live off 1488, 2 miles west of Magnolia.

    I think a lot depends on "where". In my area, humidity is high, and temperatures are never real cold. Termites eat any wood near ground. I would say ten years is good estimate for cedar and maybe...
  5. Re: Single well, multiple branch line installation

    I think you want a pressure switch and tank at the well. You don't want your pump to have to pump 2000 feet. A second tank at the barn and a third at the house is good. But why would you need a...

    Re: Which Tiller

    I really wanted a Troybilt when I bought last year. The one I wanted was about $1000. I wound up buying a Sears on sale for $600. It works good for me. But I only use it 2-3 times a year and keep...

    Re: Help with a GE water softener

    Buy a box of "Iron Out". I think that's the name. Follow directions. It will dissolve any iron absorbed by resin and basically rejuvenate it. I've got instructions at home for a Water Boss. If I...

    Others here are better experts at setting tank pressure. But here's a stab at some of it. Setting your low pressure lower will result in a period when you have a painfully low pressure to the...

    Re: Water preasure

    I had a Water Boss once. They had me clean it with something called "Iron Out" I think. It's used for, among other things, removing iron stains. It's probably the same stuff. Definitely flush it...

    I'm the one that has a pressure tank after softener. It has helped tremendously. No it will not have a higher pressure than before the softener. But you must clarify this. It will not have a...

    Well, and if I didn't have a road grader I might be tempted to buy a small blade. Certainly Deere has something. If they don't, Sears does. I'd probably see if one of the neighbors has a box blade...

    You didn't say what color the stains are? If they are blue then you have acidic water and copper pipes. You will have to have water tested to determine how acidic to determine what time of...
