yes actually getting metal flakes up to a 1/4 inch or slightly smaller so NOT rusty water, actual metal pieces and yes been cleaning the screens every few times I use them on sinks faucets /shower head they been blocked pretty good, but after cleaning NO more pressure , or again just NOT as much as ...

its actually a larger GPM pump than the old one, so I was some what expecting more pressure not less
pressure on the gauge at the pressure tank reads the same as before switching pumps
BUT pump is NOW a LITTLE deeper NOT much but a little
so maybe thats why??

OH and I also seem to have less water pressure since new pump was installed, like shower head doesn't have same amount of water pressure coming out as before with OLD pump what can be the cause or fix to this?? NOT a big difference but can tell, can live with it as is, but of possible to get more, w...

didn't notice them putting one of them on, so?? not sure if they did or not
been sucking up a LOT of rusty metal since new pump hs been in
flaking metal pieces, I am guessing from off the well casting pipe or??
wondering if the LACK of centering disc is allowing it to suck up off the side walls??

thabnks again yes he taped the wire about every 8 foot, and yes used all new Black pipe BUT what do you mean by a torque suppressor, as that I didn't notice being used, unless I just didn't notice anything as for pictures of my old one , here are a few again, the old wires looked pretty bad, and opl...

NO< we didn't have w rope on hand and old one didn';t look so good , lack of planning I think on my part and well , was also hoping plumber would have maybe had some I guess?? had a major ice storm roll in last night so, really glad we had the nice weather we did on Thursday got lucky there I will a...

OK so, we pulled the well pump, was set at 200 feet only, BUT well was over 600 ft, (longest measure we had, and didn';t bottom out, so well is at least 600ft for sure) Old well pump looked Terrible, entire cast iron top was almost all gone, rusted away old well line also had a few poor looking conn...

yes the well was drilled, back in the 70's in the late 80's mid 90's it went dry, was at about 500 ft if I recall what I was told and then they had to go deeper and deeper, was a very dry summer when it went dry and several; new homes were build near by, which they(original owners) felt had tapped i...

talked this morning and he's still under the weather some BUT he say's Thursday about 10 am we will start, , allowing some time to warm up in the AM, (and try and get to feeling better as well)should be in Mid 30's and sunny so the weatherman says LOL so, will have an update after that, how all goes...

will do and yes its a submersible pump down any where from 600-750 ft when I had the pressure tank installed in June of 2014 when plumber was testing pressure, he noticed s Little drop now and then and we talked about pulling it then, but as in life, had a ton of things going on and gave it the OK, ...

well just a follow up here Plumber still hasn;t come here yet, he's been in the hospital, and just got out today we both kind of agreed to try and wait till Wed or Thursday, as weather should warm up above freezing that day he thinks BOTH check valves are bad , but won't know till he gets where and ...

I can just trip the fuse to OFF on the well pump, and then water heater but with the back draining and temps in the low 20's to single digits at night keeping water in the pipes I wonder if its a better idea than having empty one's?? one of them NOT sure what';s better option here I hate having the ...

thanks again do you's think I should be shutting off Power to my pumpo when NOT in use, so all this on and off doesn't kill it as my plumber has not yet even called me back, and Monday is 2 days away,a nd running on and off every 1 and 1/2 minutes cannot be good I would think??? OR just let it go as...

thanks the pump is over 20 yrs old now, so, anything is possible I guess on that end as for a check valve, I have NO idea if there is or is not one between them me and pluming work don't go well together, I swear I am cursed with trying to do water work repairs, nothing ever works out even simple th...

thanks, I am not that handy with plumbing so, I appreciate the suggestion the time between the clunking has increased, was 5 minutes now its just under 2 minutes so its getting worse pretty fast I guess I know in June of 2014 when I had the NEW pressure tank installed, they were telling me I should ...
