My only neighbor that I know is "too friendly". I don't want him to know that my husband is away. I'd rather pay out the nose for a repair man.
I can appreciate that. It has been my experience that if you diagnose the problem first and ask for estimates you "May" cut down on the folks who will just sell you all kinds of additional things!

Hi all!
I dropped in here coz my wife told me she posted a query about this well business.
I changed the well filter a couple of weeks ago and I used a carbon sediment filter instead of a paper sediment filter. I think the carbon filter has a greater resistance. We had the same problem some months ago and it was 'sorta' solved when I replaced carbon filter with a paper type. I think the paper type is more appropriate, even though the carbon type is of much higher quality.
However, I think the system is underpressure anyway. Not sure why. May be the pressure gauge is not functioning properly. I noticed that when I open the valve by the tank (in order to replace the filter) only a limited amount of water comes out. Its as if the tank is not full.
The rest of the system is relatively new. The submersible pump was installed by the previous owner few years ago. The well is very deep (around 400 feet). The control box was installed by myself a year ago as the old box suddenly died.
Thanks for your input. I asked my wife to get a plumber to change the filter for now with a paper type until I get back.
