WATER FILTER INSTALLED TO FLUSH OUT RUST FROM WELL WATER SYSTEM

[@JavierGalvan-s2f]

Another great video Steve, do us a favor and keep them coming! Stay warm as well as Molly! Looking forward to tomorrow's video 💥👍☝️✌️

[@johnwalker890]

Good job Steve.

[@Farmerdubs101]

Hey Steve live the videos. I have been watching them and they have helped cheer me up since we had to put our dog down yesterday. Love the videos keep up the good work

[@ClickinChicken]

yeah that's hurts.. a lot. what a loss. what can I say. Sorry?

[@Gman2930]

Sorry to hear about your dog. I found Steve 4 years ago and I watch him every day

[@PRO4XKEV]

Search his cooking videos, he has some good ones. Steve needs to give us a cook video, it's been a while.

[@Farmerdubs101]

@@PRO4XKEV i agree

[@mariofilippi3539]

Thanks for the video. We have iron and use Diamond Crystal iron fighter pellets in our water softener. Hello to Miss Molly!

[@PianoRevisited]

I do too. I've noticed a big difference since I started using the Iron Fighter. Faucets last much longer before needing replacement. No more red residue inside toilet tanks.

[@theforeman1097]

I need this! As always, thanks for the ideas and installation tips Steve!!

WEL STEVE I WAS WAITING TO HEAR YOU SAY you have to wait to use it. i was doing a job as an industrial mechanic. 4 inch cpvc. hundreds of feet of pipe was rerouting their city and plant water to accommodate a new system we were putting in. the day we were getting ready to tie it in to the city water supply. i said to one of the lead mechanics. it wasn't my job. i said better tell the production manager that we have to wait 24 hours till he can use the system because we were taking out the old system to tie it in. so of course every one is looking at the can of glue. i thought wtf nobody knew this. so the production manager said it was okay. so now were just getting ready to finalize the last leg of the tie in and the production manager comes over and says is there any way we can use it in two hours? i was like wtf! i said no. of course they had to say well we will try it. to hours go by they charge up the system no leaks. we were cleaning up getting ready to go home short day. and the pipe blows! shooting water all over the production manager my foreman and the lead. i pissed myself laughing. so what we did and i cant believed it worked we used straps and chain come a-longs to hold the section together after we re-glued it. those come a-longs were up there for weeks lol. but it all held once removed

We have not got any snow here near Asheboro North Carolina, but it sure has been cold.

[@danf2588]

It’s just a sediment filter. Will probably help with the washing machine screens but it won’t remove iron from the water. You need to inject air into the water to oxidize the iron in the water and then filter it out.

[@1768ify]

Yeah, but dissolved iron doesn’t clog washer screens either.

[@beltrams]

Dissolved iron doesn't hurt much unless it gets reacted with something like chlorine or if there is a constant drip into a sink or a tub so that the iron leaves a stain. I have a Culligan sediment filter. It pulls some rust from the well casing out, but if there's any remaining in the water making it past the filter, I've never seen it in the laundry or on fixtures.

[@zackmax7184]

My Parents House was built in the early 1970's they started off with Electric Heat in the Ceiling. It was never very warm. They have a Water Stove now that heats My House and theirs, but they are both in their 80s, so I think it is about time for them to give up wood heat, and I can't walk very Good now and I can't help them.

[@craigharding475]

I think they also call those "SPIN-DOWN: filters. They can even be installed automated for certain intervals and drain outdoors. (If weather permits).

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Hi Steve, one question. Why didn't you put a shut-off valve at each side of the filter, so the owner could change the filter without hassle? There is one on the in-side further back, but you could have fitted one on the house side to save him draining it down to change the filter?

[@tonym6920]

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍

[@Richard-qg7sz]

Nice Spin Down Filter.

[@iamnoone.]

Howdy Steve and Molly

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

Swirl filters work pretty good.

[@PianoRevisited]

Hey Steve, This is the first time I've seen you working on a job in a mining shaft ! Nice video ! 😂

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

It looks like the homeowner's brother's father-in-laws cousin's brother did the Plumbing in that house. When I see sharkbites, CPVC or PEX in the same area it's either some jack legs work or a Plumber from Florida.

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

Flowguard has always been a one step glue but you are supposed to run an emory cloth around the pipe if it's older or dirty. Flowguard only guarantees their one step glue on Flowguard brand pipe. There's no warranty on other manufacturers pipe.

I bet your making that OT today.. 15 F without the wind in brockton.Its a bad day if your heater craps the bed today.

Hello Steve

New pliers Steve knipex?

[@oddopops1327]

👍👍😉

[@ltsiver]

Huh. I'm surprised you don't use the primer on your cpvc before cementing.

[@ltsiver]

I use the all purpose cement, which sets in 45 mins, cures in 2 hours. The orange cpvc only cement takes a day.

[@rodneyskinner7741]

Hello Steve!

[@georgeschikschneit7142]

Steve would you be able to tell me who makes that rust filter I have a need for one. Thank you

[@dieseltrucksfirewood2540]

We bought ours off of amazon.

[@notall1196]

Damn dug wells

[@ClickinChicken]

-20F overnight Mamma. Real feel -18F. I was talking to my 86 y.o. neighba today. Every time we hear 'Polar Vortex' in the future, we'll get freaked out/stressed! No fun Momma! Then 34F on Tuesday 1/23/2024.

[@dieseltrucksfirewood2540]

CPVC is so terrible I would have changed all of that out to PEX especially since half of it was already PEX.

[@johnsutherland6322]

Always look forward to your blogs Steven looks like shit weather there

[@DAS-Videos]

I want to see the rust that it traps.

[@rayvoorhies7180]

I thought all well water had filters? I know my parents well did. We were lucky the water didn't require any special treatment. My grandparents had a lot of iron in their water. It stained their shower stall and sink.

[@tony8354586]

Rather have a whole house filter, throw it out than to clean that from all the shit that’s going to be caught in that mess!

[@amirdieselx64]

Sometimes ya gotta douche out the rust

[@john7017]

Use shark bite adapters, no wait time needed...

Or icon pliers

[@japmlp09]

Those red handled pliers belong in the garbage

[@Bob.W.]

I can understand why you don't want to mess with a jet pump. Hardly any well outfits around here will work on them. They just tell the well owner to drill a new $25,000 well.

[@xiaodingjones1554]

That seems severe, just replaced mine with an in the well pump, no need to drill.

[@Bob.W.]

@xiaodingjones1554 most jet pump wells around here have narrow casings and can't be converted.

I hate the way instructions are now in tiny print. The instruction packet will be thick giving the impression there is a lot of information only to find out there is only a little bit of information but in 10 different languages.

Nice filter - I don't care for that plastic water pipe either. Too brittle.

[@killerdeamonking]

They all get brittle , even pex does. metal rusts and copper oxidizes. Pick your point of failure.

[@davidnorton5887]

Yeah, more problems further down the line, but Steve will be retired by then lol

[@brianlafleur997]

SHE'S A LEAKER MAMA LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kicksfascistass4783]

I don`t buy it. I have the rustiest water anywhere and no filter works worth a dam.

[@jblyon2]

Parents had to install a cartridge filter and an oversized water softener using iron out pellets to handle the rust/iron in their well water. You need to oversize the softener because the iron is muckier and harder to get rid of, so size it normally and it could get plugged up. The tub used to need a hit of CLR every other month and it was still always orange. A new dishwasher would be totally orange inside within 3 months. Had a new tub installed when the softener was and it's been over a decade without even a hint of a stain, and the 7 year old dishwasher still looks brand new inside.
