It's a small miracle that non of the joints leaked and needed additional tightening. Good job.

Excellent walk through. I'm not sure you did this when I didn't notice, but for viewers who stop by, remember to check and adjust bladder pressure for your system. You want bladder pressure to be about 2 psi below the cut in of your pressure switch. For example on a 50/30 switch it would be about 28, measured from the schrader valve on the top of the tank. It is easier to do that before adding water, you need to drain the system of water from that water spigot at the bottom to accurately check pressure. Those bladders come precharged from the factory but there are various options for pressure switches so you need to be sure it's right for your system. I would suggest some kind of stabilizing post for the tank so if a tree falls on the tank it is less likely to tear out those wires and cause a fire.

Great father/son time. If you score identifying notches in the wire before pulling, it may ease the identification without the multimeter. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent and helpful video! Thanks! BTW, heating up the PE pipe will make it easier to get on the barbs and make for a more secure seal.

Small tip. When installing that plastic pipe. Insert the ends for a few seconds in boiled water. it will slide over much easier.

ALWAYS USE A LARGER WRENCH ON THE FITTING YOU ARE THREADING THE PART INTO TO COUNTER THE STRESS CREATED BY TIGHTENING THE PART!!!!! IF YOU DON'T, YOU RISK BREAKING THE FITTING AND OTHER PARTS!!!!! Signed, a 65- year-old
@edgionet17147 ай бұрын
If you would have heated up the end you would have no problem getting the pipe onto the fittings

Next time use a heat gun to make the pipe more flexible and easy to slide on and while it cools it creates more tight seal.

To install the black connecting hose to the nipple easily, just put the ends in boiling hot water for a minute to soften the end, then you should be able to push it on the nipples, but you need to work quickly since the black pipe will harden as it cools off!

Use hot water. Pipe will slip on the fittings easily.

How can I know when buying a pump whether it will handle pumping against the pressure? Eg say I have a pump which can displace 15m, and there's already 10m from well pump to tank, how do I know it will be able to handle the additional resistance pressure that the tank will produce?

Great video, but I believe one thing you did is a big no-no.. You used WHITE wire for a HOT wire.. It "IS" legal, but only if you mark those wires with either red or black tape... RED is preferred over the white wire as you already have black wire in the same fitting.. Wire is wire and the same volts and amps run through them, but the codes people and insurance people will alllllways give you hell about it...
