can someone clear up a spring,well, PT, and then home water system?

torr58 asked:


I am buying a house and I have general knowledge of a spring/well system, there is a pipe that runs a few hundred yards into the woods, i assume this is access to the spring, so the pipe leads from the spring to the underground ‘holding tank’ or ‘well’. in the tank is a submersible pump that drives the water from the holding tank to the pressure tank in the house. the pressure tank acts as insurance so we will have large amounts of water at any given time, and to create more pressure than the pump can give, or else there would be no use for it. so the pressure tank pushes water through the house (cold) or into the hot water tank, in which case the pressure is already being driven through the hot water tank so there is no loss of pressure. now this is what i picked up and have put together, any holes in this? also, what keeps animals and insects from infesting the pipes, tanks, etc…? there is no in-line filter or UV so the previous owners just drank from the ground? i have a tough time beleiving this…. yes, this is a rural area but still… if i were to put in a filter where should i do it, before teh pressure tank, after? one more thing, this is a big pressure tank, 5 feet high, what kind of pressure can i expect?

Home water pump questions?

jenNdan18286 asked:


*Apology in advance, I dont know anything about this stuff!

We’ve had a long running problem with our water pump…it happens irregularly, sometimes not for months. The problem is that sometimes it wont ‘kick on’ and trips the breaker. My husband can usually get it running by resetting the breaker, knocking on the side of the pump, and pushing the ‘on’ lever. He walked me through it earlier today and I got it to run, but it stopped again, and I cant get it going again..

Anything you can tell me about what’s going wrong, how to solve it, etc would be appreciated.

Also, I was trying to look it up online but I dont know what type of pump it is. I’ll describe it - its a little metal tank that sits on top of the bigger water tank. It has a little metal lever that you move one way to turn it off and hold it slightly to turn it on. What words should I use to search for this pump?

Please feel free to share anything else you know about pumps, prices, etc.

Thank you so much, in advance.
