Woke up at 5:30 am to take the Honeybunch to the Doc for a shot or two in her lower back for spinal pain. We were looking forward to it cause she sleeps on a Heating pad often.
I'm in my Bathroom and I hear a Bang..she ate carpet and fractured her right arm.EMS on the way. Hospital for...well everything and I get her at noonish.
Then the Bladder tank on the Well goes out and water pressure is Surging badly.
Limited water use for us now.
Ordered new stuff..right at $ 500 bucks. Will replace tomorrow but now it's the
Bring Me's...Bring me this , Bring me that , Shit I feel like a Butler, slash Plumber, slash piece of Meat.

Hang in there. Being a Viking Nurse Boy ain't for the weak!
In all seriousness, hope your woman heals up quick.

Wow. Waiting on call from my wife’s Dr to get her a back spine injection. The well problem you can get by easy. The bladder valve to add air is still there. All you need is air in tank Add air to tank by the bladder valve. Remember years ago tanks didn’t have bladders. Added air by pulling a pipe off.

Have to open the valves now and again to let it refill with air. |

This one has a Bladder Tank.
52 Gallon. I checked the air pressure a few weeks ago and all was good. Noticed Surging water pressure in the shower the other day. I knew what that was.
Checked the psi today and water came out of the Air Valve . You can hear the submersible pump slamming the pipes as it goes on and off whenever the water is turned on.
I'm her Candyman and she has a big credit card so it's good.
I'm not cheap or easy..well maybe easy but I don't need much.
She'll buy it for me if I do.
Trophy Viking Meat...It's my Destiny..

All you need is air in tank Add air to tank by the bladder valve. Remember years ago tanks didn’t have bladders. Added air by pulling a pipe off. Old tanks had a check valve on the side of the tank with the gauge and air valve, like a tire valve. in the pipe going to the well there was another valve like a tire valve, and a one way check valve above it. When the pump shut off the one valve would close and the valve in the pipe would let air into the system from the pipe going to the pump. The valve on the side was there to let out any excess air so the tank stayed about half full of air at all times. At least that was how our old worked growing up. When one of those valves went bad you were out there removing the top nut and the side valve to either let more air in or let excess air out. Did it many times in my teens with my dad. replaced the control box and pressure switch a couple of times. That crappy little air in valve on the pipe was the worst one to fail. unless the submerged pump failed, he and I repaired everything on the system. I was glad the day we finally got rid of the old style tank and went with a bladder tank. It made life so much simpler. But the old one lasted over 30 years before I yanked everything above ground and redid all of it. I have had two of spine injections. first one worked great and lasted years, the last one did not help much. |
