My Yorkshire terrier is 15 years old now and I don’t know what I will do when she passes she favors me but she’s my wife’s dog those dogs favor one of it’s owners over the other Great video I never let any air out of my tank it has the factory pressure
Wow - that is beautiful work. Love it! I dream of having time to fall into dreamy sequences that hopefully promote some cool melodies alongside the ambience... Your work is inspiring.
These new designs of the base of the tank are in contrast to the legged one I had from Craftsman that lasted 19 years. Now I gotta jigger some pipes and I’m starting to think I should just use 1” pex so I get some flexibility. I only have like 14” from the feed to the tank inlet/outlet.

Help! The company that installed my tank 15 years ago installed the drain way above the bottom of my tank. The diaphragm is blocking the air valve. How the f#ck do I drain it?? Can't even move it to replace it!! Any help would be appreciated!! Do I drill a hole in the bottom of the tank to drain it??
I feel like I owe you some money after this. I had several plumbers come out and give me some crazy prices to change out a bad pressure tank. I am talking $1500 dollars crazy!
You are telling pure fact truth, they gave me the same price, I can go to Home Depot and buy 6- 32 gallon well tanks for $1,500, seriously I did not need them to install it, I always change them myself for less than $300.00 $250.00 to be exact, it's a real shame that these companies are so hog hungry to take advantage of people and not have a conscious about it! There is one thing you should not do, do not directly connect copper pipe with Galvanized pipe. Dielectric unions would be in order.
Let's say it so people get an understanding of what you are saying, "There is a problem with copper and galvanized piping are joint together, some people says Brass is ok but that's not ok either, when connecting copper and galvanized pipes you should use a "Dielectric Union which will allow you to connect the pipes without the 2 touching each other and will not allow a breakdown or a reaction.
Keep in mind if you are replacing your tank the bladder is likely leaking and there will be lots of water in the air space above the bladder so not only will the tank be heavy but it will be top heavy and awkward to move. Normally there would be a drain valve down at the same level as the inlet into the pressure tank (usually of the tank tee withe the relief valve and pressure switch) so that you can drain the tank completely before moving it. If your bladder has been leaking it may take a bit of time for all the water to drain out of the tank.
I had to replace my tank the gauge and the pressure switch but have old copper lines and old unions were on there. I replaced the unions and the t along with the gauge the switch and the tank. I taped all the threads but I can’t get the unions to stop leaking any tip? I feel this is why I have no pressure still
im going to give you a c- because you only tell part of the proper way to replace the tank. OBTW the Challenger tank you took out was a good quality commercial quality tank and the one you replaced it with is a cheeper big box tank. there are videos on how to source quality tanks not cheep big box tanks
I have a proflo new as of 2015 I am guessing 44 gallon one so watch should the pressure be on the tank and at the pressure gage . If you use brass can you use a steel coupling for the turn off valves . I was always told brass to brass . The one turn off valve to the house broke and emptied the pressure tank int my crawl space and glad now crawl space is 7 feet deep and all I hd to replace it was a steel coupling with a brass turn off valve and now thinking I should replace the turn off valve with a new one also since it needs backflushed . I wanted am trol but could not get one any where here so went to fergusons and got the proflow one and new switch and everything The tank the well driller put in was to tiny for this house hoping someone can answer this soon
Look on the inside cover of your pressure switch. If it’s for example, a 40/60 psi, then set the pressure tank to 38 psi. Brass is always best for fittings to prevent galvanic corrosion. The bigger the pressure tank, the better because it means you’re well pump will not have to turn on as often.
@@proclaimliberty2000I got the brass fittings at lowes, but did not get a chance to get down there to check the switch since hubby had a heart doctor appointment and lab tests . Tomorrow is another day . I just wish I had the chance to get down there today . Time just catchs up with you
Will you come and do mine? I'll pay you. 59 year old woman. I'm going to use your video to do it myself. I love how you went step by step,stayed on point, ask to hit like button.at the end, didn't go on and on about this and that, didn't introduce us to your dog or cat. Didn't over explain. You're the perfect example on HOW TO make a youtube video
This video should be at the top of the list! Best step by step I found 👍🏼

Super helpful!!! Thank U
Wath is the cut on cout of of this pressure switch,is 43 lbs to mutch or not enough?
use thread compound on that copper union too for smooth threading male thread only and just enough to help with threading
thank for the helpful video
One point: Turn off the power switch AND the breaker. Can't ever be too safe.😧

Copper to galvanized?? No dissimilar metals electrolysis concerns?
what about brass to steel adapter it is all I had when handle broke and stores were closed at that time
@@sissymurphy9620 Brass will last longer than the tank will

Maybe a dumb question but what is the reason for setting pressure 2 below?
It’s standard practice. That’s all. Water Tanks’ red zone is 90-100 PSI.
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing this video with us. God bless and keep you safe from all harm in the mighty name of Yeshua the Messiah.
👍😊
Excellent. What uses are there for the faulty tank after being removed from service?
@@electron1012 lawn roller, smoker, BBQ
Galvanic corrosion will occur with copper and galvanized steel

That "1-14"x3/4" adaptor" should be Brass! to defeat electolosis... and it's called a "bushing".

Why not just add the air pressure gauge ?
Don't do galvanized steel
If installed correctly, you can bypass it to isolate
Try this in a Michigan basement LOL
wow, you explained it so a 5 yr old could understand it…. next time turn the breaker off, don’t rely on a light switch anyone could flip on

wait that reducer adapter is not copper so why can that be different metal He said it is galvinized steel
I hate it when I cross dress the pipe, I mean cross thread
