pressure

Hi Pros, I have an interesting issue with my heater, I hope one of you will know the reason. (It's a Vaillant vuw 202/3-5) Almost everything is ok, it heats and makes hot water. But the pressure keeps rising. 0,1 bar every 2-3 hours. I have already replaced the filling valve but didn't help. I...

We have a 325 ft well near an ocean marsh. Well pump is at 300 ft. Pump company says we have water 60 ft down so seems like plenty of water. However, because the well is so deep we get brackish water and our well TDS is 7k with mostly sodium and chloride. The well serves a whole home RO system...

The water pressure in my house was never spectacular, we have lived here since 2019, but it seems to have gotten worse over the past 6 months or so. We have a standard deep well dug in 2000. The issue is causing my dishwasher on the first floor and washing machine on the second floor to not...

About 8 months ago I purchased a house (2 stories plus basement) built in the early 1990's with a (functioning) pressure reducing valve. Water pressure coming into the house is about 110 psi and the PRV is set to about 60 psi. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed poor water pressure in our...

Hello, I have joined this forum to ask this question as all of my research has come up short. To preface, back in March 2023 my pressure reducing valve (PRV) failed in my home. I found the failure due to one of my various water leak detectors around the home notifying me that a leak was...

Hi there, We have a standard gravitational system at home and a Salamander pump CT force 30pt is part of the hot water system for the 2nd floor. For the last three months, the pump didn't work well and wasn't starting to generate pressure each time we opened the taps/shower handle. At the...

I have about 40 psi pressure from my city water. I replaced a water heater and the pressure is even lower now from that side. I've looked at boosters but I only want to boost the pressure to a total of about 60 psi so I don't damage my plumbing system would I need a reduce as well installed...

My pump does not seem to be keeping up with demand. A bit of backstory: We came home from a walk and noticed a clicking sound. I saw the water pressure gauge fluctuating rapidly and realized the noise was the pressure switch (40-60lb) for our irrigation well - it was cycling very rapidly...

I had a dishwasher installer come in with my new dishwasher and he said he couldn't install my new dishwasher because it needs a pressurized fitting on the line and he doesn't have the tool to do that. So I need to get that done before he can start the install. Can any one tell me what the tool...

So I have a 2 pipe well pump that pumps water from my 60ft well, there’s 38 ft of water in there and 55ft of pipe. Recently I had a bunch of mud stir up in the bottom and get sucked into my pump. So I replaced my foot valve and a whole new water filter housing and filter. The water runs out of...

Hello, I am trying to top up the pressure in my boiler but I cannot find the filling loop even after watching a lot of tutorials. I know why the pressure decreased (radiator leak) so now it's solved and I just want to top up the pressure. Could you please help me with the picture attached if...

A month ago we replaced the pressure tank & pressure switch as the bladder was busted. see previous post below to get info on the pump if needed. https://www.plumbingforums.com/threads/questions-about-my-well-pump.20049/#post-155643 After changing the pressure tank for the most part things...

Hi all, After the plumber replaced my hot water pipe to the water heater, 2 of my showers and 1 kitchen faucets lost pressure on hot water( I guess that’s the right term) they were all working fine before that. All 2 shower valves and faucet are mixing valve, which is sharing 1 valve in the same...

I am making a heat exchanger for my shower trap arm. I have a 2" section of copper drain pipe that I want to coil the incoming water supply line around, before the supply feeds into the 3/4" inlet of my on-demand water heater. I already tried and failed at coiling 3/4" soft copper tubing around...

I am working on an outdoor shower to put on top of my van, but I spent hours at home depot trying to find the right hardware to fit things together. I am a complete newb, so any advice on finding the right parts is much appreciated. Here is my kindergarten cartoon of the idea: The tube on top...

I have a brand new 40 gallon Rheem hot water tank that was installed a few days ago. At first no problems no leaks anything, and I wake up this morning to water in the floor. I get to looking for the problem and it seems to be leaking from the threads l, seeping up from around the pressure...

I have 2 issues/questions. To start from the beginning, we just purchased and moved into a home at the beginning of November that has a private well, once we moved in I noticed we had water pressure issues. Upon investigation I found that all the faucets/fixtures with pressure issues were...

I have a three-story house with a basement and a well. The pump maintains 40 psi as measured on the gauge at the pump... in the basement. I have very low water pressure starting on the second floor. What can be done to increase the pressure on the second floor? I have a washer and dryer I want...

No changes made to the system lately but within the last week it seems we have 2 problems (or symptoms). 1) Two times we have lost pressure completely while someone was showering. The first time it was when the clothes washer was also running the second time it was when 2 showers...

Hello, My block was recently pummeled by 3.5" of rain in less than two hours. There is a 45" standpipe in the only floor drain in the basement. My neighbors had sewage backup, i did not because of the standpipe. I might have gotten it worse - it seems as though a crack in the floor started...
