wyliesdiesels, you just saved me from having my well guy install a new $4,000 pump system. We removed the check valve and there was basically nothing left inside to hold the water from flowing backwards down the well. We replaced all of the piping from the tank to the union, also found a slow...

Great option from checking online. Thanks much!

The brass in line piece had Sta-Rite on it and I found the item online, which is the 1 pic. Spring check valve. I hear what you are saying, with pressure switch in the pump off position, the only way water could leak out of the casing would be backwards from the bladder tank. I could unscrew at...

sorry, it was from another work email I was sending.

AND I KNOW IT'S A FIRST WORLD PROBLEM, BUT IT IS PRETTY INCONVENIENT TO KEEP RUNNING DOWNSTAIRS EVERY TIME WE WANT TO USE THE HOSE BARBS OR USE THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

Thanks, I actually haven't found a solution for with or without having a neutral. I'd likely have to hire an electrician to pull the neutral and he said he'd have to pull a permit, and maybe some other stuff to satisfy code. I'm trying to do this as a do-it-yourself project since it would be...

I want to replace the old ceramic switch with a new wifi switch, 240v, double throw. There is no neutral wire. I haven't found an electrician yet that has a solution for this. There are 2, 110 lines coming down into the box from the breaker panel. Then the same 2 lines come out of the switch...
