baseboard heaters make a knock noise when the pipe expands against metal frame. could be that pressure tank though. i had one make a knock sound every time the pressure switch kicked on. drain the pressure tank then shake it to hear for water above the bladder.
Steve how come the check valve down at the pump is brass which over time riots out it seem it go,s before the pump..can they made them out of stainless and bump the price
Hi steven the out side unit stop working so I bought the capacitor and the fan came on and then the compresser it took like 5 minutes to come on is that normal. So the broken capacitor reads 30+5 mfd 440vac and the new one is 30+5 440/370 is this the same one
It's a pressurized well tank obviously for people who run off wells instead of public water. There is pressurized air on the top of the tank and reservoir of water on the bottom. As the water pump fills the reservoir with water, it compresses the air on top. When the pressure gets to around 50psi (because he said the pressure switch was a 30/50), a switch turns the pump off. Then, as the water is used, the compressed air pushes the water out of the tank. When the pressure drops around 30psi, the pump switches back on and the cycle repeats itself. Tankless well systems, otherwise known as Constant Pressure system, are becoming more and more popular that keep the psi at a constant and just increase the RPM's of the pump itself to keep up with the load in your household. So instead of bouncing back and fourth from your pressure switch settings (30/50 or 40/60 psi) and loosing pressure on the weaker end of the psi's in the tank the constant just adapts the extra load and stays at the maximum water pressure available. Most people are switching to the Constant Pressure Systems, but well systems are so expensive that most people opt to keep the old standard systems until it dies.
I think it's that captive air tank. Part II will tell the story. Good video Steve.
thanks for all you do Steve!kept the tapes coming.they great!

Looking forward to the conclusion
Ohhhhhh momma! It's a mystery...looks like we're gonna need to give it the old gundy.
I always smile when Steve says that, but I really don't know what it means. It's not a common expression where I live !
I don't think it's a common expression on planet Earth. That just makes Steve...Steve.
Steve will Make America Gundy Again
Steve, did you try to listen for it before you started taking it apart?
great work
you already know this but the knife doesnt care what it cuts. on the other hand good work.
Could it be a water hammer causing the noise?
Dear Customers....QUIT HOVERING OVER STEVE AND LET HIM WORK....thank you, that is all
Checking. To. See. If. The. Pump. Is. Not. Damaged
hmmmm... might have been a good idea to listen to it first :P
joeyf504327 the guy originally said it's not reproducible - happens sporadically. Now later he says happens basically every time he uses the hose.
Steve ring the ice cream bell next time
Wow, @1:49, someone did a hack job connecting that electrical cord to that washer.
*dryer
Steve how come the check valve down at the pump is brass which over time riots out it seem it go,s before the pump..can they made them out of stainless and bump the price
It's the well tank
washmacine wires look... he needs to secure that better.
"learn the history solve the mystery" ;D
I love expresso.
Not according to Steve and myself!
thanks for sharing ^_^

That capacitor is perfect--the 5 minutes is because the thermostat has a 5 min delay.
what is that tank good for i never See that in Germany

pretty good answer for internet police
Part two, not part to or part too
ok, Kim Jung Deux.
My water heater bangs a lot 🤔
Water hammer issue!!
No working dogs at it again y'all? :'(
