    Got my new drinking well drilled today. "Life is Good!!!"

    My system uses one pump and one pressure tank. You have a 90 foot pipe to the surface, a check valve, piping to the pump, a pump with a pressure switch that turns on when the pressure drops below 30psi and off at 50psi and a pressurized holding tank like flight doc89 explained above. The...

    Oxalic acid flush, created something when neutralized..

    Coolant 50% mix should bring you to the proper level. I don't think you need to add anything. I just think you have introduced many variables vs. a simple drain and refill and you need to go the extra mile and double check your PH when your all done.

    Oxalic acid flush, created something when neutralized..

    Having filled and drained the coolant system multiple times with a acid, base, distilled water (neutral ph7), added coolant, you have one hell of a chemistry ??? in hand. I wouldn't take a chance that flushing the system and adding coolant will bring you the the proper PH. When your all done...

    Oxalic acid flush, created something when neutralized..

    Couldn't tell you how to remove the film it but I would be careful of the ph value. I would check the ph of your coolant or whatever you have in your cooling system right now. I believe the ph has to be above 8.5 to prevent any corrosion.

    Ace Hardware / True Value... Your local family hardware store has a better supply of nuts and bolts vs the big chain store. Anti-seize on the stock bolts works well also.

    Neighbors house on fire! / updated pics and cause

    Here in Florida they make you place fiberglass insulation and maybe a thicker gypsum board as a firewall between the garage and the living quarters. The door that separates the garage from the living quarters is also fire resistant or at least not like the interior doors. Proof positive that...
