pump

Hello. I am using a Haskel 4B-14 air driven liquid pump that uses one single air head inside. Instead of using a manual air regulator for controlling the pumps pressure, I used a electronic version (IP current to pneumatic Transducer) so I could automate this process. Basically, when I try and...

A little background: at my house, I have a submersible pump (no clue how old it is) that I suspect the check valve is shot. Several months ago I noticed my pressure tank short cycling (pump up to 60psi, and drop to 40 psi in about 20 seconds). The tank seemed fine and not water logged. I did not...

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 a water pump system installed in my house, connected to a tank before the central water supply. The professional that installed it cold it "hydropneumatic". In general it works fine and there is good pressure in the house. Normally a few seconds after using tap water the pump stops...

[Questions] - Well pump convert from hardwire to Plug. Good afternoon, Wanting to convert my well pump from being hardwired to the junction box, to being able to be plugged in. The AC unit has a shutoff switch at the air handler and outside unit, so why not convert the pump to a plug and be...

Aloha all, we had a full house last week and now were having trouble with water pressure. My 1/2 HP Grundfos well pump has recently started taking an exceptionally long time to pressurize my tank (15-20mins). Cut in pressure is 30 PSI cut out pressure is 50 PSI. We have a 44 gallon Fexcon...

Hello Plumbing Community, I'm relative handy but a DIYer and nowhere near a professional so apologies in advance for my ignorance. Was hoping to ask the group about where to begin with a Hartell LTP-1 pump that seems to malfunction. We have a small wet bar/sink on our main floor that drains to...

The pump’s cycle started running much longer that it used to. Now it drains the pit and continues to run dry for another 15 seconds or so. It used to run the perfect amount of time, until the pit is almost dry. Any ideas on how to get it back to a quicker cycle? My original video was too...

A friend had a new shower fitted along with a pump but they find it too powerful for them as the person that uses it is in his 80's and it actually hurts him what with his skin being very thin. Its a Aqualisa ipx4 and I wondered if anyone can tell me if the flow rate could be reduced?

We are replacing our Well Pressure tank. My concern is about losing prime, because there is no cut off between the pressure tank and well. I have posted pictures below of the Pump we have. I have included Photos below. When i add the new pressure tank, i plan on added a cut off between the...

I’m installing an ice maker on a wall without a drain. (This is part of a whole kitchen reno). My closest drain will be in the island. my initial thought was to cut the slab and put a PVC chase in that I could route the plastic tubing from the ice maker drain pump and connect under the sink...

Not a plumber here, but man have I got a problem! Built this house (someone else did) almost 9 years ago. Had him put all the fixtures for water for a basement bathroom (thinking ahead) So we eventually did put in a bathroom, with toilet, shower and sink. Also a washer. He called the pump a...

I recently replaced an old booster pump and pressure tank with a Grundfos SCALA 2 continuous pressure booster pump (which has a built-in pressure tank). The pump pulls water from a cistern which is less than 10ft below the elevation of the pump. However, we are consistently having pulsating...

Hello everyone, I've been doing loads of research but have not come to any meaningful conclusions so I thought asking directly might help! I am looking at upgrading our water system pump at our horse farm. Some background first, the building is 300 long and 100 foot wide with 4 aisles, each...

I am preparing to replace my well pump pressure switch- the one that runs the pump when the water pressure gets below a threshold. The articles I have read say to shut off the power supply to the pump then to shut off the valve from the pressure tank to the house and drain the pressure tank. I...

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...
