Thanks for the replies -- I agree that is what it looks like, and that brass flomatic body certainly appears to be a check valve -- however the arrow on it is actually pointing from the tank to the wall (towards the pump), and I assure you we have 3 points of use in the yard/outbuilding which...

Ah yeah that makes sense. In my case it wasn't excessive cycling but rather expected cycles due to water demand. If I ever have a problem with the foot valve on my pump (or similar nuisance cycling due to leakdown) I will need to fix it - my setup doesn't have any kind of check/stop valve by...

I did sweat everything together from the tee down towards the tank, except for a sharkbite 90 at the stub from the tank itself. This is so that I can disconnect and open the system somewhere to unthread the t ank in case of replacement/leak/fixes/future changes. An alternative would be to add...

Figured I would share the pressure tank upgrade we implemented, curious about observations/feedback or anyone's similar experiences We bought our house about 5 years ago, and don't use a ton of water but I couldn't help but notice the fairly short cycle times on the well during our higher-draw...

The goal is less to hide them from view, and more to grade over them to further encourage surface runoff away from this area. Right now our riser comes up slightly below grade around it, encouraging surface water runoff into the riser and septic tank. The alternative is to dig down to our...

Hello all, Our septic tank riser comes just to the surface of our lawn, such that with a bit of regrading to raise the lawn surface -- we could trivially put a few inches of top soil and plant grass over the top of the riser lid. Is this a particularly good or bad idea? It would actually...
