Thank you for the extra knowledge and info EMP and Valveman. The water hammer definitely occurs when the booster pump stops pumping. Sorry to say I don't know the size of my pressure tank so I'll have a look at it later today. Anytime you hear or feel a water hammer "thump", the pressure...

Thanks EMP. It's generally coning from one corner of the house. Good idea to pinpoint the location but I must say it seems like it's sort of rattling a length of pipe. Not sure what you mean by a bad cartridge?

Thanks for the help guys. The pressure tank does hold pressure okay and takes ~30 seconds or so to fill so I'm not sure it is bad or why it would be the culprit with the water hammer issue (then again I am just now having my first cup of coffee :) )? The Cycle Stop Valve looks interesting, I...

Hello, I've searched this sub-forum but couldn't find the solution to my issue. My well system consist of a below ground pump which fills an above ground tank. There is a booster pump on the outlet of the above ground tank and a pressure tank, etc. When the pressure tank gets to less than...

Ah, gotcha - should have thought of that. :o Thanks again frodo.

Could still use some help with this dishwasher not draining. I tried the above two actions, unfortunately it still won't drain. So I did a little more checking. Turns out, it will only drain when the "cancel" button is pushed (I watched it drain into a bucket to be sure). Then, I watched...

Thanks frodo, I'll give both of them a try.

No offense at all and thanks for asking. Actually I did not know they are marked. The drain line from the washer is the smaller of the two and it is connected to the small side of the air gap. The large connection on the air gap leads to the sink drain pipe. In other words, I replaced the air...

After reading many related forum threads, I still cannot figure out why my dishwasher won't drain properly and would be grateful for some advice. The dishwasher was discovered to have standing water after a normal wash cycle. The drain line is connected to an air gap and the other hose from...

Thanks for the feedback. Frankly I had not anticipated that issue as most of my neighbors draw from a holding tank, etc. (actually a common practice in this area on the central coast of California). Thus I had thought it to be a common practice in order to lessen the constant on/off cycle of the...

Hello, My well is very deep (~400 ft or more) and the system feeds a pressure tank then the house. Our county code requires a holding tank for fire protection, but the tank just sits idle and does not feed the house. As we're in a drought, I'm looking to draw from the 5000 gallon water tank...
