mini-muffin Posted April 4, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 4, 2011 Guess you still have some pygmies at your house Tom. At least the sump pump worked. Gotta look at the bright side. There's usually one even if you have to look hard to find it. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG TOM Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share #12 Posted April 5, 2011 Tom you can buy a pressure tank for like $150 - 200 and they're not hard to replace... Wish I lived closer I'd do it for ya... Its not the 20 gallon type that has the air bladder in it, Its the (now fiberglass) 80 gallon holding tank....they probably were cheaper when they were made of metal (I guess)....the good news is that when my plumber unhooked the old tank, I found out why my water pressure was so bad...where my chlorine injector entered the pipe that feeds the water tank, the pipe was plugged almost solid from sediment and corosion..... Now I have pressure to spare..... yes, it was expensive but this guy has been taking care of my well and plumbing for a long time....he spent 3 1/2hrs here and re plumed all the old pipes with new plastic pipe and reconfigured my chlorine pump and installed new injectors...now I don't have to worry about the chlorine eating away at the metal pipes.....ps... I wished you lived closer too, the job would have been yours..thanks for the offer.....when your in the area stop by, I can find some work for you to do.....:rotf::whistling:Do you work for banana splits like SQUIDLY does ?
