Thanks a lot Mom !
Why no rope, just in case the water line breaks
Cheapest part of A/C you nailed it. Best wishes on that to.
I use only distilled in my coolant. No minerals to cake up or conduct current. Pure water is a resistor of elec. Of course add glycol for freezing or crack metals.
Do you ever install a check valve at top of well just above the sanitary seal? In my area most well pump installers in your area of western North Carolina do it.
What is the best method for installing a 1 1/4 inch bass nipple to a 1 HP submersible pump with plastic threads to prevent possible unscrewing from torque twist?..thank you.
I'd say for emergency out-of-service call-out plus insurance will be billed for pay-out. So 5 hrs. no heavy equipment. 2 people $1500.00 + tank & other parts.
When installing ss hose clamps when you used 2 under the pitless adaptor shouldn't you put the 2 hose clamps on in opposite directions for better tightening just asking because I do because of policy where I work I would like to add them your way just asking ty for your videos there amazing.
Supply store was out of the 30-50 low pressure shut off…Can I use the 40-60 low cut off and modify it to work as 30-50? How do you know if your well needs a low pressure shut off?
@stevevandelinde1204 yes you can use it. Just set the tanks air pressure to 35psi (make sure the tanks empty of all water when you add air to the tank). Typically wells that run dry need a low cut out switch as a added safety.
It won't freeze in the winter as long as he shuts off the PVC valve inside and and cracks open the hose bib.
Your a good, man keep well!
funny you used the expression ""dark as hell'' actually thats what hell is ,total darkness. avoid it at all cost.
No, its the Birdflu now
I had a similar issue. Our basement flooded. The bottom pipe on the pressure tank rusted thru. I replaced the tank with a big box store tank. It worked great for the first year. Then, whenever taking a shower, the pressure would drop so low that the shower would turn off and switch to the tub spicket. I decided to investigate after letting it do that for a few months. The tank air pressure was set right. Switch turned on and off when it was supposed to. The water pressure was great directly from the tank faucet. I decided to removed the shut off valve a few feet from the tank. Inside the plumbing looking directly at me was a little red pipe cap/plug. I quickly got my needle nose pliers and removed it before it could go any further into the house. I do not know where it came from. It was too small to fit the pipes before it or on the pressure tank. I am glad I found it when I did. We don't have a filter. The next opening in the plumbing was 20 feet away! I think it got dropped into the pressure tank at the factory or a prankster put it in at a store.
No such illness.
My daughter got Covid now in Washington from visitor from Oregon. Distance yourself all. She said this version is tough.
Water dowsing is very scientific! Gravity never goes away and the vectoral forces acting on the rods along with the inconsistent manner in, which the dowser holds the rods and walks guarantees tye desired result!
Thank you! You information helped me! I watched a couple of your videos and determined I probably put to much air pressure into my tank. I shut off valves to pump and house and released some air from the tank. Pump now is kicking out at 40 and turning on again at 20.
It's not really your problem to fix it on July 4th only because they couldn't be bothered to come in and evaluate it in any of the weeks before. You answered a callback on July 3rd already, the only thing you need to worry about is your family. Unless you did the call to not get your family sick during July 4th by being out of the house, and even that's not quite the best way to deal with illness.
Why do you guys you that black poly pipe? We have had problem with pulling pumps after they sit in there for 20 to 30 years they like to come in two when pulling the deeper ones. That just mine and my father experience in this line of work. No hate here keep up the good work and wish you luck!
We been having trouble with our well thanks for cutting this video very appreciated
I tried to work sick last week and come Wednesday I found out I had Covid
youve supposed to use the copper rods first aintya than use your $1000 machine imagine time you save on the diggin lol😅
I bet there power bill will be much lower now! Good job!
My pump only gets to 40 lbs. won’t prime. New foot valve hold ing. New pressure tank. New pressure switch. Can the pump just be bad. It’s 15 years. ??
Hope you are feeling better
I'm surprised VA doesn't require relief valves, I've seen the 1/4" brass nipple to the pressure switch block up and hang up the switch and overpressurize the system, otherwise hope you're feeling better!
My original comment got removed so let's try a different wording: You probably don't actually have "it". When I was overseas (Isle of Man) I got sick, thought it was "it", pharmacist knew it wasn't and warned me NOT to take "the test" until AFTER 36 hrs or when my fever broke, whichever happened first. I took it before the 36 hrs and it was positive (FALSE positive). 24 hrs later, tested again..negative. 2 days after, tested yet again..negative.
Pretty funny, your beep tone came in about a half second after your f bombs in both cases.😂
This channel is one of the best. I'm beyond impressed with not only your skills, but your ability to speak to all of the nuances of your craft. I'm grateful for your pro knowledge and videos, keep it up! 👍
Wouldn't it be better to put the filter before the bladder tank?
What kind of pipe do you have hooked up to the well?
That bad of a well needs a air system.to much iron in the water.
I had very little water pressure and system was not kicking on. I replaced my 100lb psi pressure tank with a 100psi water tank which I'm sure was bad, and I replaced the pressure switch witch was a 30 50 with a 30 50. Still same problem. Well is not kicking on. I've flipped the switch several time to no avail. The pressure gauge is reading 25 to 28. Any thoughts?
I have a well that was drilled in 1963 as per my documents. I replaced the existing pump/motor that was 19 years old on July 3, 2019. I just replaced the pump/motor 5 years to the day, 2024, with the same F&W 4F10S07301. I have the cloudy water as indicated in your video. If I perform the same procedure, is that putting undo stress on the pump/motor and running discolored or cloudy water through the new pump potentially damaging the pump? I understand that either way, cloudy water is running through system no matter what I do!. The removal of the 6 x 20' sections of 1" PVC was a back breaker! I don't want to do that again for a Long time! I live in CO across the (street) Highway from the Crystal River......Thanks!
Feel better soon..............................
Outstanding explanation! Thank You
Man, it was painful to see you guys destroy an antique pump system that still worked as designed.
My pressure switch doesn’t turn on again after refilling the pressure tank and running the water. 😢 Did exactly what you said to do. Pressure tank is still good (bell sound) all parts are under 2 years old. What do I do 😢😢
@h2omechanic - What is the gray product you use to seal the foundation wall penetrations (13:24)? I have to reseal mine & hope to only do it once. Love your videos. Thanks in advance!
So sorry you got Covid. Heavy duty prayers headed your way. You are a good man feeling sick on a holiday but going to help a customer. No good deed is forgotten by God and no good deed is ever in vain - and will return to you ten-fold.🙏
I don't even have a well but your videos are still interesting because I like to understand how things work.
Accept it man, You're a Douser!!!!!!
I hope you're better by now! Election is around the corner so I'm sure the media will try to tell us to get the jab, mask up and they will be sending out mail-in ballots again. Hopefully the American people don't buy into that garbage again. Its tough to work while be sick. Kudos to you and I hope that family stays well and doesn't get the China virus or the "common cold". 😊
I feel your pain working on a holiday, my job is the same. Get bettersoon.
Hope you're feeling better soon, and next time, be the boss and send someone else. Happy 4th.
Can you explain WHY someone would abandon a well?
I’ve either been lucky or my immune system fights against Covid because I’ve been around a lot of people with Covid and luckily so far I’ve haven’t caught it. Good luck
I hope this comment finds you feeling better. How great of you to do a house call on a holiday, while feeling like crap. Hopefully you steered clear of the residents so you didn't pass along the Covid "love."
Well done! Hope your COVID is minor and brief. Yesterday, I finally tested negative after a week of a 100F temperature. Never really felt 'bad' but my taste went all to hell.
