    Water pressure pump: Well-x-trol

    That would be wonderful but I would never be able to install this myself and I'm guessing that the plumbers would use their own pumps and I wouldn't be able to find one to install the pump. It's sure is a huge savings if I could. Thank you.

    Water pressure pump: Well-x-trol

    Thank you all for your answers. I got a plumbing guys out and they said that I should go up a size to a 32 gallon pump. I'm a little unsure, but I think the gist was that it keeps it from going on so often? Anyway they suggested a Gould V100, I think that's the kind that they stock. They...

    Water pressure pump: Well-x-trol

    I have this pump (I'm guessing it's 20 gallons, going by its height), in a closet in the bathroom. It used to sound like a motor running until it refilled after using water, now it just clicks a few times. The water pressure is fine, but it's confusing me. I've been in this house since 2011...

    Bradford White Defender lp water heater - urgently need help

    Update. Thought I'd let you know after about 5 different plumber's visits they finally sent their expert out. He didn't try and fob me off and he said that maybe Honeywell has mistakenly sent the wrong part (a natural gas, instead of an LP gas) in the package. When they replaced the whole...

    Bradford White Defender lp water heater - urgently need help

    Sorry, I just saw your post. At this time they have sent out 3 different sets of plumbers, all saying it was loud, none fixing it. They called the manufacturer (Honeywell) with no help from them. They said that they would let me know, but haven't gotten back to me in over 10 days. I don't...

    Bradford White Defender lp water heater - urgently need help

    I forgot to say, but I can't see the flame, so I can't tell that it's small and blue, but they said it was ok. They also said that there "could be air in the line". I guess the gist is that they don't know what's causing it and they don't want to put another one on. Thanks.

    Bradford White Defender lp water heater - urgently need help

    Hi, I'm glad you are still sticking with me. I took a little video and tried to download it to see if you could hear the sound, but couldn't my computer somehow has started downloading in avi which doesn't take. It does, however, look like the right part, it's red. The sound it makes is like...

    Bradford White Defender lp water heater - urgently need help

    Update. Had the gas control valve replaced, cost $385. It's heating fine but is now making a noise like it's running all the time. It never made that noise before. It sounds like the noise it used to make right before the heater started to heat, only now it does it all the time. They can...

    Bradford White Defender lp water heater - urgently need help

    I know you are right about replacing the valve. I wouldn't feel safe even if I managed to light the heater. There seems to be too many things going on in that water heater. I'll just have to bite the bullet, own up to my mistake and get the plumber in. On the upside I did manage to fix the...

    Bradford White Defender lp water heater - urgently need help

    Thank you for your reply. The wires are really a flat white ribbon with, white, another color and orange ending with a very small white connector that fits into tiny pins behind the circuit board. I kept them straight, but of course they can fit into the pins either way, so I'm just guessing...

    Bradford White Defender lp water heater - urgently need help

    I have just done the most stupid and I'm afraid ultimately an expensive thing. I spent almost all day changing a valve to a combination shower/bath faucet (don't ask) and just finished at about 7:00 pm. This was of course to save money as I'm a retired woman of limited means. Well in this...
