For the rest of you who want an easy way to enter the website world, check out the options at yolasite.com. You can start with a completely "free" website that runs under the yolasite name, and when you feel like spending a little $ you can easily upgrade to one that is www.(yourname).com.

I believe Claude Laval still owns the LAKOS company and all their products. And I believe the TwistIIClean filter works/cleans quite differently than the other filters that came before it from other companies (Vu-Flow and others). I think you need to depressurize the system to clean the filter...

105 microns is pretty fine mesh, and this appears to be a pretty good product, based upon testimonials I have read from installers and homeowners who previously chose other options. I think it won some award for being one of the best new products of 2011 at the World Ag Expo in California a few...

Sounds like a little mini-sand media filter. Wouldn't a strainer with the right mesh screen accomplish the same thing?

Yea..I feel for you. Harder to find a tech-savvy person you can trust than a plumber you can trust. But some of the tools are getting easier to use all the time. Suggestion: see if your local high school or community college has classes in web design or development and email or call the teacher...

I believe jet pumps can only work well when water table is less than 30 feet below surface, so you may want to ask some neighbors how deep their pumps are set, or if they have jet pumps as well.

Really hard to say. Some well drillers would say that a competently-screened well should never allow sand or sediment inside the casing. I dunno about that -- there are places in Texas where the strata is just plain sandy and breaks down over time, allowing sand and sediment into the well...

I believe a submersible dry pit pump serves to remove all the water from the well or pit. It has the ability the run dry for periods without harm to the unit. A submersible wet pit pump is one in which the pump must stay submerged in water to maintain proper cooling and operation, and the...
