I figured out how to adjust the cut off pressure on these booster controls. A screw in the back of the unit turns part of the housing CW to increase the off pressure. Goes from 50 to 90 PSI. It wasn't loose so I still don't know how my pressure changed but i'll leave it alone until something...

The installer came today, put a pressure gauge on the outdoor hose spigot, and said there was nothing wrong with the pressure or flow to the house. I couldn't disagree. The lower pressure at the fixtures is tolerable, you just can't fill a tub quite as fast. probably better for the fixtures. But...

Thank you your seeing correctly. The calcite is after the cistern and goes to the home after that. The only difference I guess is the water in the cistern is not treated with the calcite. I agree with testing the water and then I may need nothing but the sediment filter, ( which stays pretty...

There's not anything else to see. The feed from the well goes to the T where it feeds the irrigation and sediment filter, out of that to the RO unit, into the cistern tank and out to the calcite tank and into the home. The installer told me to unplug the whole system, as not to ruin the pumps...

Why don't they just skip the cistern, use a regular 32g+- pressure tank, a 1/2 hp franklin well pump or whatever is in the well now, and aerate the sulfur inline on the way to the filters, then straight to the house? Or does the RO system expell water any time water is flowing through it?

So I need two kick kits. One for the well and one for the cistern. If I just do the cistern pump first, I can use it that way until the well control or well pump fails or until I buy the second kit?

No unfortunately, but the development is so rapid, that it is been talked about. There are people from all over flocking down here ever since 2000. and we thought it was out of control since I first bought in the area in the 80s. But closer to the shore where we were is all city water and sewer...

Yes a service guy who stopped in when I first bought wanted to install a high pressure pump to ensure the RO filter will clean itself properly. It reminds me of the swarm of roofers who come after hurricanes from all over the country taking cash from the elderly to fix tiles in the dark!!!!

Have no idea but after two months of use the sediment filter is clean looking but the home was sold to me complete. It's on about 3 acres but who knows with raised septic systems all around and the well being about 40', I'm told. One thing I do know is the whole yard smells of sulfur when the...

I see the Pside kick kit is 500$ Could it be put on the home side only and leave the flow control on the well which basically just does the irrigation and fills the cistern? Those two functions are full blown on or off anyways?

Thanks, I guess I'll have to try it. I have some skill but will probably have to draw a map of each piece I will need. Would you think the weight of the tank and T kit is about double the weight of the tankless control? And the RO filter can function at a normal 40 to 60lbs?

Thanks, no wonder the builder and the well driller who set up the system are ignoring me. I always thought the RO should have more pressure to it also because it seems to trickle out constantly when refilling the tank. what do they do, use 10 gallons for every gallon that's cleaned? I'm new to...

Thanks for responding and it’s funny that while only two months at the new home I am having low pressure at all fixtures and was getting used to the pump turning on as soon as the faucet was opened, splashing out of the bathroom sinks. Now from a trickle to a slow flow. Pump in tank sounds...

I have recently moved from an area where I had a well with a steel casing, 220' deep, with a 3/4 hp multi staged submersible pump about 20' off the bottom, connected to a pressure tank via a pit less adapter below frost and this pressure fed the home. Now I have a well with a pvc casing with a...

I had my home built in 2000 and at the time boiler condensate and all backwash from the media filter and softener went down the drain. Now I am hearing none of that can go to the septic system. I've only pumped the 1500 gallon tank once since new and have had no problems so far. I am pretty sure...

Not sure but most baseboards use 180 degree water and pex is only good for 130. Double check this.

Most plumbers and well drillers are using solid state pressure switches now and have quite a range of adjustment as well as the mechanical ones you are referencing. If your system leaks at 60 lbs it should be fixed anyway.

I wanted to get some opinions on installing base board on about 50' of wall space has always been a cold spot in my own home. I can't use the boiler i have now since it is on the other side of the home and has it's max load on it now. Does anyone have opinions on boilers, circulators...

Correct sheplmbr, I have been using 3M and they call it a hydrocharger which precipitates the iron with air, then it can be filtered. Usually with a backwash filter using their iron removing media. Then you can do even more with an NFS type softener valve and rust removing salt. The duration and...

I usually replace jet pumps with small deep well submersibles. Holding it with a standoff or pipe to the pitless.
