The part number for mine is Pentek 153070. But it might be cheaper to buy the whole unit. amzn.to/4geqU2x

Not necessarily. Repairing the cracks with this product will seal them. Adding a coat of sealant is a bonus but not as important as filling the cracks.

Right!! So nasty. There's a lot of rust and sediment in Alberta's wells. At least my water doesn't smell like sulphur, which is a common issue around the farmland.

Good idea for a plan A.

Glad you liked it. Good point. It depends on temperature and how thick the application is. It only took a few hours for the thinner layers but a day for the deeper cracks.

Good question. For me, my 3 indicators were: 1) A yellowish color to the water in a full bathtub. 2) The silicon around sink drains were no longer clear but stained a little brown. 3) And when I opened the toilet tank, in the corners I had sediment. It looks like 1/8 of an inch of brown flour and when I touched it, it would cloud the water. That's great news if you don't need a filter

@@DIYandSAVE now thats some useful information as with a lot of google searches I couldnt even get that precise answer.

The professional bid was for a rubberized material. My solution was temporary and I will be looking for a better solution.

A lot of the sealer lifted off the driveway over the -40 degree winter. Some was also removed when I shoveled my driveway. I would use a more rubbery product if I were to do this again.

Thanks and yes, it will be back in my climate with -40 degree winters.

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

Depends upon the crack filler used and its apparently really important to get that thick filler liquid an 1-2" on either side of the filled crack to prevent water infiltration which is what jacks the cracks back open. Even Airport grade sealer is quite possible just the basic old school stuff vs the newer epoxies.

I have used Aquaboon in the past and had good results. amzn.to/3TWCI0m

Good question. I should have mentioned that. No, there is no connection directly on the unit. You need to add a wall outlet near by.

I would use Sikaflex Crack Flex Sealant for concrete: amzn.to/49pKbtr

I would look into a spin down sediment filter that you can easily drain out. I have never used one, but I would research one like this to see if it could help: amzn.to/3NI5y0Y

I bought mine at Home Depot, but here is a similar on on Amazon: amzn.to/48l91u9

You have a good ear. I am from Newfoundland, Canada which was settled by the Irish in the early 1800s. The accent has evolved a little over the years, but for the most part is still pretty strong. I left Newfoundland 30 years ago but managed to somehow keep the accent.

@@DIYandSAVE That’s fascinating-never knew that about Newfoundland! If you left after early childhood, a native accent is usually there to stay, or it’ll often come out when people are tired or inebriated. 😆 Interestingly, even the mere MENTION of the original locale will often trigger people’s accents. Every time I’ve heard a person who was originally from the South (but was able to COMPLETELY lose their accent) mention that they were from there, they’d go back into the drawl. These were all public figures that I heard on podcasts or in other media, and worked as journalists, actors, musicians. I feel unsettled when I can’t place an accent, but am also intrigued by the potential backstory behind it. I’ve heard people w/ a mishmash of American (from various regions of the US), British & Italian accents, and I’d wonder what their upbringing, travels, and settlement have been like. It’s peculiar to me how some people don’t pick a certain pronunciation guide and stick with it-they’ll mix British & American vowels in the same sentence. I think that I personally would code switch, but some are just “mutts” with their accents, and by extension, their identities, as well. Human development & human psychology (and not just humans)…really interesting stuff! 🧐

Agreed, very interesting stuff. When I make a quick visit back to Newfoundland, I notice a change in my accent from day one. I always found languages, dialects and accents interesting and even spent a few years learning French as a second language. In my current environment, I don't use it very often, but I still take advantage of it when I can. That includes, music, TV or a few coworkers that speak the language.
