Video

Thanks for an informative video

can they hold up to farm work 1 million gallons a year+ ?

Im sitting on a ditch right now, realizing I've painted myself into a corner because i didn't know how to get off of it. Lol. Thanks for showing me bud

Skipped showing the whole closeup of the working….

Good demonstration sir.

I understand what you're saying but if the water you are drinking is out of the faucet in your house, you would need to know it's contaminated. If you test at the well head and it comes back OK, you're going to unknowingly drinking contaminated water for many years. I guess to rectify that problem you would really have to test from both locations. Unless I'm missing something.

How much water (index) is it supposed to hold in tank? My old system was a open style with a tank regulator (had what I refer to is a flotation to regulate air) not a fan of the one I’ve installed as it has only a 8-10 water index and pump almost immediately kicks in…(also run a check valve or no?) I’ve a submersible pump…: TIA 😊

Man thank you so much!!! I’ve got a tank trying to fill with my well and then take it to the house with a jet pump you saved me from having to get a magnetic contractor

Thanks

Thanks for the video. I have a shared well with 5 pressure tanks...86 gal each. Each time we have a no water situation....various reasons, my first action is to give each tank a little push. If it moves it means it's empty. If it doesn't move it means it's probably full of water. Recently I had a tank that took more effort to move than the others but still took more pressure to move it. I interpreted this as partially failed or failing tank and had it replaced...since it was under warranty, Are there any other tips you can share for detecting damaged tank. I'm thinking that if the tanks are full...just after pump turns off...that pressing the valve on the air valve might cause water to flow out. Your thoughts.

So, I'd assume that if the tank is compromised, water would come out of the Schrader / Presta valve if pushed?

This was very informative - thanks much. Also, thanks for showing me that I'm not the only forgetful person.

Thank you Wendell. I really appreciate the lesson.

I have a 88G Challenger that's been in service since our the house was built. 1990. I've been testing it and watching it for leaks but there isn't a thing wrong with it. I'm going to replace it eventually due to age but man does Challenger make a good product.

How could it have NOTHING to do with the pressure tank? I mean, that’s it’s job, isn’t it?

Just rented a U10-5 mini to dig some drain and water lines. It took me a day or 2 to figure out where it was stronger to dig like you showed it in your video,its a toy at 10hp but sure beats a shovel! I plan on buying a use one down the road possibly a U27.

We already know what the video is about because we looked it up for a reason. To make better videos, put the title in so ppl look it up. Then get straight to the point. How TO INCREASE WATER PRESSURE WELL WATER / HOME. MAKE THE VIDEO, FIRST SHUT OFF POWER TO THE WELL AND TANK. THEN YOU DO THIS. THEN YOU DO THAT THEN YOU DO THIS. THEN YOUR DONE. PPL HAVE TO MAKE VIDEO AND EXPLAIN THEIR TITLE AND THE TALK ABOUT WHAT THE VIDEO IS GOING TO BE ABOUT. THEN INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND THEN TALK ABOUT CRAP THATS NOT ABOUT THE WATER PRESSURE AND WELL AND EXPLAIN ALL THAT THEY WILL BE TALKING ABOUT. 5 TO 10 MINUTES VIDEO ENDS UP TO BE 15 TO 30 ,FULL OF NOT WANTED OR NEEDED INFO. WOMEN do this most, they will say, hi my name is Karen and i live in karrenvill Wisconsin and im here to show you how to gwt better water pressure, if you have well water in your home. First ill tell you a list of every single thing im going to talk about and why. Then ill talk about my kids and my dog. Then ill have you like and share. Then ill play background music so u can hardly hear my voice. Then ill talk about the kids school clothes shopping. Then ill finish by giving you the needed info ,to why you actually looked up this video.

I have a well in my basement about 90 feet deep 6 inch pipe, the metal casing at the top is rotted away, it looks like the upper part of the casing was replaced at sometime in the past and It may have to be replaced again.

This didn’t help me at all - bummer

This something I've been going over in my head for a while. I'm glad it's as easy as I thought it would be. Thanks for this!

Only thing I hate about them being other than being extremely expensive is it becomes a habitat for every bug known to man. The foam deteriorates and it gets nasty.

how deep would a well have to be at .5 gallons per minute

Thank you brother

I'm not that worried about the pump unscrewing...but I DID put one 6" above the pump to keep it centered and one 6' above that so it doesn't teeter totter on the lower one.

I have a Well X-trol from from 2009. When do you figure a tank is old enough that you ought to just replace it so you can do it at a time that is convenient? I know you said 15-20 years. Do they pretty much never last past 20 years?

Dumb question but does the motor add air to the top or water to the bottom to create the pressure?

Pumptec is almost 400$. Deal breaker.

Why wood my tank not fill all the way up is it bad?

Great video. Literally all my ?s

That makes sense so I have a question. Wouldn't it be a clear indication that you have a leak in the bladder if you are able to release water out of the valve stem at the top of the pressure tank

Hey man, we're having this exact problem where our power wire underground is broken somewhere running from our shop to the well pump about 300 ft away I've been calling around and I've been suggested to get a navitrack to find the break but now I'm seeing it's for snaking a sonde through underground pipes. I don't know if you've had any experience with those and if it will work without a sonde.

I'd absolutely pay an extra $100, but in larger tanks it can be more like $4,000. I can get a 100gal tank with a big box brand under $1,000. A 90gal x-trol is more like $5,500. At that difference, unless I'm getting a no-question 20 year warranty, there's no way I can justify the difference.

Would you use 1 1/8” or 1” or 3/4” Schedule 40?

A O smith just purchased from Lowe’s. Wouldn’t hold air. They gave me a hard time returning this junk. Don’t buy.

You taught me well today. Pun intended.

I just replaced my Well-X-Trol WX-202 by Amtrol, which was installed Nov, 12 1990 = over 33 years in service. I replaced it with the same Well-X-Trol WX-202 by Amtrol, installed myself. Easy installation.

The burp was unnecessary, and gross

The information was very helpful, I just purchased property and have no idea about water underground, going to go in with some neighbors and get a well put in. Thank you very much. Was your symbol intentionally designed to look like the AA emblem? Love it..

That was extremely helpful... Thank you..

Have a breaker at house from main power. Not meter there anymore can I take wire from breaker and put plug on ther?

So you drill until you hit bedrock, then install the casing, right? Do you know you hit bedrock by looking at the cuttings coming up? The speed/behavior of the drill? My casing goes 40 feet. My friend's goes 300, the full depth of the well. I assume they never really hit bedrock in his situation?

As others have said, thanks.

How much room below the pump should I leave on my well? I am running into air bubbles after a little while of watering my garden. I’m thinking there might be some room they left below the pump. Maybe.

Thank you young man!

I've got a Grundfos 2 wire 10 SQ/SQE pump that's marked 110v on the housing. According to the manual on the pump side of the pressure switch it shows Line Neutral and Green wires. Mine has 2 black wires and 1 green wire. Should I assume either black wire can be used as a Line or a Neutral wire? You would think Grundfos would tell you what color the pump wires are but they don't.

I was hoping for a disassembly of the bladder . I have to increase the size of my outlet. hoping for easy cut and weld the larger flange.

Nice one Dude, thanks. btw... could not agree more re. patience.... have you noticed the correlation with mobile phone ownershi and use ??

ManyThanks!

Hi I am trying to connect to a Franklin Electric SubDrive 75 which is a VFD for a well. Says it shouldn't be used with GFCI or externally regulated generator. How do I know if my generator is externally regulated? I have a 5000W Generac generator. Can I use an inverter generator?

doesn"t the size of the pump affect this test?
