      You would need to have at least a 6" cleanout on the rear of the tank. Installation really depends on the type of lid on the back of the tank and the depth of the system. costs can range from $300-900

    I grew up in Philadelphia & the city has two sewer systems, the modern one that is used today & the one built 300 plus years ago out of Belgium Blocks (aka cobble stones) that were used as ballast on the ships. The older sewer system is 5 foot tall inside & the shape is a circle with the floor being level flat cut stone with a carved out canal running down the middle of the floor a few inches lower. It runs throughout the city 30 to 40 feet from the surface. And it was utilized as part of the underground railroad. Many of the oldest homes had hatches in their basements that opened into a shaft with a ladder that lead into it, most likely used to escape the Red Coats would be my guess. I lived in North-East Philly growing up and all of the access pointsI knew of were filled in, but I know of one that is still open, if you go to Torresdale Avenue where it crosses the Penny Pack Creek (south of the closed down Holmesburg Prison), if you follow the creek west the first house you come across on the south side of the creek, right before you reach the house you'll see an opening used as an outlet into the creek. There is no easy way to reach the opening w/o the use of a small boat, but with climbing gear used to get down to its open would be easier. The last thing involving the sewer system was that Bell Telephone Co was running their lines through the tunnels, if you spot a Bell Telephone CO 4 feet across oversized manhole cover, could also be used to enter.

I am going to attempt pex. i am using those Apollo crimp style rings I bought from menards. I will use the manual crimp tool. Any words of wisdom? THX!

      Yes there are. They are columnar filters that do exactly what you said. However, every septic contractor has refused to install it for me and I don't know what to do.

      Effluent filters are the way to go. I’ll have a video on them soon. Zabel filters are my favorite. The filters need to be cleaned every year and take about 5 minutes. There needs to be access to the filter for cleaning. They require a pvc baffle. Theyre worth every penny and a few counties in Maryland are requiring them on new installs. Usually the access will be a 6” clean, 12” riser or a manhole riser

    This is only one reason why you want to buy a pressure switch with a low-pressure cut-off. (If the gray box has a little lever hanging out the side, that's it.) Run out of water, have a valve closed, it will cut off the pump and not burn it out.

    • @Irvingstine
      @Irvingstine 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah, it will still work because if there's water trapped In between the 2 shut off valves, the low water cut off will still let the pump run, and the pump will never make pressure dead heading it till it basically burns the impeller out Or building enough pressure due to thermal expansion and damaging something else. Because as you can see the expansion tank also would be shut out.
