    Quick connect hose fittings

    OK .. perhaps that's it. (We just fold the hose and squeeze )

    Quick connect hose fittings

    Confused as to what a check valve would do for you. They are to allow the water or fluid to only pass in one direction. That's why they created anti siphon hose spigots.

    Quick connect hose fittings

    Had a few ..... always leaked so in the garbage they went. I assume you meant a ball valve ... not a check valve. At Amazon...

    Fixing a retaining wall

    I have about a hundred & fifty feet of a similar block wall ( but they are the seventy pounders ) around my garage and the wife's flower garden. Both have been in for a decade and one is leaning and the other is loose & shifting. All I can share is that the base or foundation is critical for the...

    Pressure Tank Design

    It was 14 years in service when I replaced everything in the system. Had several indications of erratic operation and excessive pump cycling that all pointed to the tank and sure enough when I pulled it out I could shake it and hear water sloshing around within the top portion. Ending up...

    Hey ... That's the tank I got rid of last November. Glad it's gone.

    Pressure Tank Design

    Numerous videos on HOW TO .............. but I imagine the problem is they charge almost as much for the insert as the entire new tank would cost. At Flotec a u20 bladder is $263 & a Craftsman is $219. I understand your concept is to structure the tank so "you could pop the top" without...

    Pressure Tank Design

    From the deep-dark web .......... Not a new idea The Flotec 35-Gallon steel tank by Pentair is a compact pressure tank designed to accommodate a small home. Pre-charged with 40 PSI of nitrogen, this tank is ready for quick and easy installation. With a replaceable bladder, the Flotec tank is a...

    Well pump discharge faucet...

    I actually have Mr. Austin's article saved in my computer from when was researching his CSVs. It was the primary reason I removed the above ground check valve in my submersible pump system. My confusion comes from the "upstream" usage and the fact upstream is the "source of flow". I always get...

    Well pump discharge faucet...

    Difficult to imagine why there would be a check valve upstream of a pressure tank.

    Fixing pump/pressure tank system for well- best way?

    68bucks ... Our benefit is primarily during showers. I have a 30/50 system and rather than the pressure going up & down from the 30 to 50 and back again ... repetitively .... I have the CSV set to about 45 psi and it stays constant while the water is running. The cycling is what wears the pump...

    How to remove sediment from toilet?

    A nice feature the new fill valves have ( Fluidmaster) is you can pull the "keeper" ring up in the middle of the valve tube and the top assembly just slides off ..... you don't need to disassemble the supply line. I don't bother to clean them anymore ........ for the $10. they cost I just slide...

    How to remove sediment from toilet?

    Turn off the water ... flush the tank ..... I use a wet vac and now do it about once a month ( new well pump ) (It will settle eventually )
