First thing I'd do is look for an inline filter. Most of them aren't replaced often enough and clog and cause problems. Especially if a home has been sitting for awhile..... ANY well system should have an inline filter. Next thing.... do you have a private well or is it a shared well such as what yo...

Finally..beware of advice where advertisements prevail. JMHO of course. Audie..the Oldfart...[/quote] Would this happen to be directed toward me? If so I'm not advertising anything, just giving out truthful/helpful advice. Usually you do get more for paying more. I know that the technology inside a ...

DD it sounds like you've already addressed the outside problems with all your efforts. Now lets examine some of the "inside possibilities." I assume you have carpeting..eh? Every time you walk on carpet, or vacume it, you create dust. The fibers break off in tiny particles and swirl about...

Tanya don't be afraid to tackle the caulking jobs. IMO caulk is one of the most important things in home repair/improvement. If you've seen a home stripped of all its finishing touches you'll see alot of cracks/gaps and that's where caulk really comes in nicely. Now I will admit I don't like to work...

We own a custom built Crestline modular that is in 3 sections. The main sections are 14' wide and over 70' long. There is a smaller 3rd section added on and is 14' wide and maybe 30-40' long. The listed weight is 94,000 lbs. and is about 2,400 sq. ft. Of course it has all the bells and whistles of a...

I'd install the filter anywhere between the pressure tank and the main supply line that goes into the home. You want to filter all the water. Choose a filter that has a good micron rating so it catches as much sediment as possible. You can also use activated carbon filters in the housing and that wi...

More info please....... You have private well, city water, etc.....???
Is this a standard sediment filter? Later!

I'll add a few things here, after pretty much replacing everything in our well system except for the pump itself. Actually most pressure switches are 20/40 or 30/50. Do yourself a favor and get a good brand, like Square D. They use better components and allow more adjustment. You can also get a low ...

5 gallons of bleach? How deep is the well? Goes to China??? Seriously when we bought our property we decided to sterilize our well and only used 1 gallon of bleach and the well is 403 ft. deep. Changing out the pump could have stirred up all sorts of things. Just because the water is clear doesn't m...

Yeah I agree that it might be blockage if you have been doing work in that area. On the other hand you also want to make sure the pressure tank/switch are working right. Your air in the tank should be exactly 2 lbs. less than what the cut on setting is. For example, if you have the switch set at 40/...

Yeah I'd wait a bit. At least until you're pretty sure temps. won't be anywhere near freezing. Later!

Here's a simple and cheap solution for you. I've seen people use a strap-on aerator (spikes) that simply attaches to your shoes and then you run around the yard and it effectively punches holes in the dirt. I have no idea where to find them though. Later!

I had the same issue about 3 years ago with our property. When we bought this place the driveway was horrible. Our house sits up on a hill with very steep grading in the front and one side. Coming through the entrance at the gates is at least a 40 degree incline and the rest of the driveway was tilt...

The experts here will probably say more, but here's my two cents: I use Rid-Ex (spelling???), or something similar, every three months. I use the budget Scott 1000 toilet paper that states "safe for septic tanks" on the label. I don't use super soft at all. I am very careful about no hair...

Hi, I'm new to septic systems as well, having lived in our current location for only 3 years. Septic systems are designed to be like nature's way of getting rid of waste and recycling the water. There are several things you can do to better the situation. Be sure to use Scott toilet paper. Any kind ...
