Hi guys, long time no talk. So in an effort to get out of construction I bought a historic downtown brick building in the town next to us. I have gutted the 80 years of horrible buildouts. Put a new roof on it and now am doing a buildout for a business that we are opening. I need to install...

So I finally am making progress on my irrigation water. I am pulling from a river across the highway from my property. I need a 10 hp single phase 240v pump. I ran 4 inch pipe for it. What pump would you guys recommend? Any brand better than others?

Can any of you guys tell me if this is the cartridge leaking or something else? It is leaking at the joint below the handle, not at the handle itself. It's a moen if it is the cartridge can you tell me which one to grab and how to get the handle off?

So I have a couple rentals, two of which have 19 gallon water heaters installed, both one bedroom places. One is who knows how many years old and my tenant can take a 45 minute shower and be fine. The other is less than a year old and was just placed in service a couple months ago. The tenant...

Does anyone make a suction pump that might work for my irrigation line? I have to cross a highway and about 200 feet of my neighbors property. He is bring difficult with things. Assuming I have check valves and properly prime the pump is it possible to get a pump that will suck eater through...

So I had a water leak between my two bladder tanks, I fixed the leak but now we have low pressure in the house. Only thing I did was shut off the valve coming to the tanks and tripped the breaker for the well. I believe something is restricting it somewhere? I do have a water softener system...

Anyone know the proper procedure for certifying a septic system? I sold my house and called the same company that did the very two years ago. I dug up the one lid that they exposed last time to have it ready. Guy showed up and said he needed the other lid dug up as well. I told him I would have...

I bought a new piece of property and it comes with water rights which means I can legally pump water from the river across the highway from my property. Only problem is ther is no piping or pumps. I want to start the process to figure out what I need to do to make this happen. I don't want to...

Hi Guys, as some of you know I bought a place in Idaho that has a shop on the property. I just took possession of this house last week and notice that the shop is plumbed for a bathroom. I don't know much about plumbing but was wondering what info you guys could give me on how it was run and...

I have been on my property for about a year and a half now and at first my well would pick up just a tiny bit of sand. I have a wye strainer just after my pressure switch on my well. At first it would take a month or more to get plugged up enough to affect volume in the summer when I was...

A buddy of mine was digging for a deep sewer repair and found this about 4' deep. Says it looks like concrete but not AC pipe. Has a funny old window crank looking handle on it. To me it looks like a cml&c water line? Any of you guys ever seen such a thing?

So a couple weeks ago I was at my mountain house. It is on tank water and a septic holding tank, water needs to be trucked in. I was working all day and went in and took a shower and brushed my teeth just like I had all week there. When I was done I went out and took the cover off my water tank...

Wondering if I can pull power from my well pump power junction box near my well? I moved my tool shed next to the well and would like to run a sprinkler timer in the shed. I have done no research on my well pump, I don't know if it is 220 or 110.

A buddy of mine has a house on propane. We moved his gas line going to his bbq because he was building an enclosure and code did not allow where the line was. We stubbed up under the bbq as it was about ten feet away before and coming up under the sink then through the block to the bbq. We...

So this thread is for a friend of mine living off the grid. He lives in Arizona 40 miles off the nearest paved road. He has a well and the water was slightly saline. None of his neighbors have this problem. He had a second well drilled and came back with the same results. Now just recently...

Been thinking about getting a utility sink for my garage but I am on septic and I am sure there will be chemicals and who knows what that go down the drain, is this an issue for a septic system?

I am making some offers on a new to me home with property. It has a well but no holding tank. It seems the water comes from the well to the bladder tank to the house. To me it seems that it would be less stress on the well pump to have a holding tank and be better to have water stored for...
