    Cistern and Float Valve problems...

    Hello all! Very long story, please bear with me... We bought a house in the mountains two years ago as our first home, and our water system became an issue last summer. We don't actually have a well, but water is pumped from a ranch below us to an in-ground cistern. It is buried into the side...
