My late father installed the system and at this point in time I don't know the specs of the pump. When my electrician is on site I will take the pump up out of the well to have a look at it.
There isn't a non-return valve on the visible part of the pipe coming in to the pressure tank from the...
I'm sorry if you feel I have misled you and others, that was not my intention at all.
When I say I would like to automate the switch I don't mean to have it reset itself immediately after it trips, but after a suitable length of time has passed. As it is now whenever it trips I can stand there...
The switch cut out regularly on the old system in exactly the same manner as it's doing now.
Thanks for the reply, Pete. I can hear the switch make a number of audible clicks before it finally breaks the circuit and this only happens if the pump is running. If the pump is off and no water is...
Thanks, brightspark. I've asked my electrician to have a look at it, but he's up to his eyes with work at the moment so I thought I'd seek the forum's expertise in the meantime.
Thanks everyone for your replies and my apologies for the poor formatting of the original post which I typed up in Windows 'Notepad' before posting it.
Yes, this is correct. At a guess I would say the original equipment was installed 25+ years ago by my late father.
It is on a small farm and...
Hello all,
I've recently installed a new 200 liter water pressure tank and pressure switch to replace their aging predecessors which had been in use for many years
fed from a submerged pump in my well. As far as I know the pump would be roughly the same age as the old tank and switch.
On the...
I've had a 2013 reg Nissan NV200 for two years now and I'm very happy with it. It has a full bulkhead, six speed gear box, cruise control, bluetooth, and comes with a reversing camera as standard. It is wide enough to take a euro pallet and has leaf springs in addition to the rear shocks. I get...
There is no such thing as a 'smart' watch, phone or TV, it's all marketing bullsh** dreamed up by guys in suits who never did a hard day's work in their lives. The average user's core i7 desktop computer is far more powerful and capable than modern phones, but they are never marketed as 'smart'...
I absolutely LOVE the legs on this table. When I saw your post a few days ago I had to do a double take as I thought at first they were off a Singer sewing machine.
I've found that wood chisels are ideal for removing old lime mortar from the walls of my farmhouse. Aldi were selling a set of 3 for €6 last week so I made sure to pick up a set.
About a year ago I picked up this piece of 12" diameter stainless steel pipe from my local scrap yard as I knew I'd have a use for it when the time came and until recently it's been lying under my office desk.
About a week or so ago I used the paper from a credit card terminal to mark a 4"...
Thanks to @Parm and everyone else for your feedback. I have decided against using this type of limestone in my fireplaces. My blocklayer, who built the fireplaces for me, thinks that at €100 each they are too expensive.
The size of the slabs was what initially had me interested in them as I...
Great work @pressbrake1, Absolutely top-notch. I've really enjoyed reading this thread over the last few days.
I've been on the lookout for a decent saddle square, is there any possibility of having one of these made?
Thanks.
I don't mind it fading as long as it fades uniformly across the entire surface of the slab. I don't want it to look like a patchwork quilt in the fireplace.
