In this video a customer called complaining about muddy water & low pressure. Once I arrived it was a simple test to figure out that the Bladder Tank was bad & the filter was not working.

At the risk of swelling your brain bladder and inflating your ego; Honest, conscientious people like you restore my faith in humanity-let me tell you I constantly see people who’s lack of integrity just crushes my heart-you showed me there IS hope for the human race. Also, I’ve met people who are masters at their trade, but can’t teach. You sir are more than a master at your trade, you’re an excellent teacher. I anxiously await your next video!
I second that.
Great comment, I was thinking the same.
Here...here....I think I've said he is better than most PHDs teaching their Marxist philosophy.
Good job young man. nice to see someone in the trades treating the older folks with kindness and respect. next time you get a tank with a bad bladder, cut it open so we can see the failure.
Plumber 4 39 years. Thanks for teaching me some stuff. Proud of you...
As i get older i find my ability to take care of the simple things eroding and the more difficult impossible. Finding someone to do it is frustrating no matter what you pay them. Currently i need a toilet replaced but cant find someone to do it at a reasonable price. Wish there more young people like yourself out there. Really appreciate the time you spend on the job.
Hi, my name's Joel, i'm Brazilian, i'd like ALL yours videos 👍
Thank you. This idea got lost somewhere along the way to the detriment of our society. Some might view it as "Doing them a favor" or something, but honestly we're paying them back for the years of time, energy, and effort they put into building the world we have today.
Hits home! I'm one of those 'elderly gentlemen' who can no longer maintain my house. In years past I NEVER had to depend on others cause I could do it all- both for my self and for folks who couldn't do it themselves; it really hurts to discover that even though the skill is still there the physical ability isn't. I really appreciate the extra effort you put in to help one of my contemporaries. It's an admirable thing to do.
After a week of working on my well pump I finally got it THANKS TO YOU! I am a 71 year woman that couldn't afford $120.00 just for the company to come out to my home. I followed your instructions and I was able to find the cause and the solution!!! You are very sweet to offer your knowledge for free! Thank you!!!
You're a good young man - your parents should be very proud of you!!!
They seem to be 😉
They enjoy reading through the comments and finding ones like this
That man and daughter will bring you more business than any other advertising.
Now that’s what I’m talking about . Very educational and u went out of your way to help this customer out .
Great video thanks for taking us along. Can you plz cut open a bladder tank to show us the holes in the tank? Thanks
Thank you for doing right by the customer. Those little things mean a lot! I saved this video because I am putting in new pressure tank in the spring. You have been a great teacher!
It's heartwarming to see that there are still some companies that care about their customers!
You are a good human bean, and there ain't no such thing as too many of y'all. Thanks for helping out the older man.
Plumbers in my area will take advantage of you in a heartbeat you don't know who to trust anymore all they seem like they're after is your money thank you and have a great week
Very good, and instructional. I wished you were my local well guy.
I still have no clue how you popped into my TH-cam algorithm feed, but I’m so glad that you did. It is so fascinating to learn all these things about Wells and more importantly, you do a fantastic job explaining it.
As an elder with failing nerve disease your last part is real to me. I was a chemical delivery engineer so I know the importance of attention to detail that seems to be lost amongst tradesmen these days. Some are lazy and/or greedy while others are not trained in these tricks of the trade. Past pandemic it's hard to find workers. "Handymen" now are trying to step up but especially in the well business small mistakes can cause high dollar failures. Thanks for your efforts to train and help with video classes in correct procedures.
Well done our America needs more skilled tradesmen like you.
Good man right there!
I appreciate your integrity in all that you do & the level of care you put into every service you do
Your profession is enlightened by your humanity. Hope from far away that your business gets a push up every day.
You are a very special young man. You treat your customers with kindness and respect and you do everything you can to satisfy your customers and you also have a great deal of compassion for the older generation. You are a master of your trade and you are an excellent teacher. I enjoy your videos tremendously!!!
Thanks for the video. Happy to that say my two 62 gallon Well X Trolls pressure tanks in my pump house are still running great since installing them in 2001. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself!
They're the best brand on the market!
Love that last bit of your video. Wish everyone approached life that way! Especially when it comes to taking care of the elderly.
Great job! The reward for the small price you paid to care for that gentleman is 10x.
Thanks fie helping the older gentleman. ❤❤❤
Your spirit is pure. You have integrity. You sir, deserve the admiration of humanity. God Bless you.
I use a dewalt battery powered compressor to force the water out of the tank, not all the water comes out but it beats drilling wholes in the tank
I had added air the day before to the tank. It works some some times, but didn't help much here. The hole in the bladder was too small
You are a kind and compassionate man. Thank you for sharing.
Your attention to detail and pointing out your tips is awesome. I have learned so much watching your videos.
Thanks for the videos. It's nice to see great work being done for your customers.
Good job it's nice to see someone in the trades that takes care of their customers and not rip them off
I used to work for a company that sold expansion tanks for hydronic systems and Hot Potable water. The most common problem we saw was the "Parts Changers" not adjusting the air pressure in the tank when they installed them. They only ship with 12psi. in them.
You should do an autopsy on that bad bladder tank to show some of the differences between good and not so good tanks.
Thanks for taking care of the ones in need!
I’m not much for words but your video is a fine example of who real people are and what real people do and that is to give of yourself to others without regard for “reward”. The world we live in is full of cheats and liars. You sir are a fine young man and I’m sure you’re an inspiration to many.
I was hoping you were going to cut that tank in half to show how plugged up it was,,, you should be proud of yourself for the work you do
I used to be a service technician spent many hours helping people who couldn't do for themselves. Now
I am disabled and it really sucks not being able to do what you used to do.
You are such a breath of fresh air. We have learned so much from your videos. One thing about doing honest work, you can sleep at night. Bravo for such a great work effort. Always look forward to your videos!
Awesome job!!!!!! Most of the tradespeople of today need to do what you do, provide honest work, a good job and take pride in what they do. You're a true craftsman and not afraid to give out tips of the trade and help out the customers!!!
Nicely done, sir! I always enjoy watching your videos because even though I've been dealing with my own private well systems in past homes for 35+ years, I usually pick up a nugget of info that I'd not known before.
Take care and God Bless.
Perfect timing...I just started having trouble with stained water after adjusting the pressure on my tank. I was thinking it may be a bad tank and now I'm sure of it. Thx
If you added air to the tank, you set it back to original pressure and allowed it to clean out any trapped sediment in the bladder. If it clears up, you may be fine. The ole Knock test on the tank never fails! Most tanks last 8-10 years. So if it's old, just replace it.
Thanks for the tips, it’s at that age so I’ll just get a new one.
Awesome Job !! It was great to hear how you made the older gentleman happy just by doing normal, helpful things for someone who can not.
Another good job….keep taking good care of your customers, it will pay you back in many ways.
I’m new to this channel, but I definitely enjoy the content. I enjoy seeing this young man take pride in his work as well as caring about the people. Which, after all, is made up of his community. When you have this man’s attitude you automatically create repeat customers for life.
Man I do not understand companies and workmen that can't do a good job of taking care of customers. I'm glad you all do work you can be proud of.
I have been working in the plumbing wholesale business for 45 years at the same company. Moved onto the sales desk in 1986 and every time I sell a pressure tank I always remind the customer about the precharge in the tank, should be 2 pounds less than pump cut in. I am very confident you do this as you are very thorough however your D I Y viewers may overlook this vital step. Really enjoy your videos and keep up the good work. 👍
I am a Plumbing Contractor in Oklahoma. I don't do much well service. I was suprised to see so much build up the the pvc and the poly.
You always do a great job explaining how things work and why. I enjoy your videos
Solid values there! Those who can....should. Because it's the right thing to do
Get that polybutylene out. I thought my place was all cpvc until I had to replace my shower cartridge. From the ball valve to the mixing valve was polybutylene
you are teaching us a lot about water wells..
You are so thorough in the way you do your job and explain it. Thank you for all you do and sharing your expertise with the world.
like your videos. honest person who does not rip people off
You are a saint, I've learned so much from you , I wish you were in NH. Thank you
Thank you for helping out the elder..........One day you will also be an elder.....................
Hey man you are an angel! great story of humanity. Keep doing these great work and videos. Cheers!
You do really good work. After watching you I am even more thankful I have municipal water.😅
Great job! I bet he really appreciated the help and effort you gave!
Was very thaughtfull of you to help that elderly man. Most would not that. 👍👍❤🙏..
Bless you young man!
You do have great work ethics. Honesty goes a long way...good job !!
Nice work as always. Good job helping the older gentleman. I thought I had a bad bladder in my tank because of the surging until I realized my tank doesn't have one, lol. Drained it out and all was well.
Side note: I purchased that same water filter you installed in your house. I have to tell you that it's the best water I've ever tasted. My daughter who spends hundreds of dollars on bottled water says it tastes better than the Smart water she buys and now she's hooked on the filtration system. Also, their customer service is amazing from them. I think I've saved enough by not buying bottled water to pay for the filtration system. Lastly making coffee with filtered water makes the best tasting coffee.
Nice job thanks for taking care of the senior citizen cause I’m one too and I knew everything you were doing but you can’t get to it you need somebody like you thanks a lotP
Now I have to go check my pressure tank,
Professor good job!
Thanks for Caring for People.
Nice job
I am of the same belief, and have always done so. To me, it is simply respect.
Great job your a honest cat!
I’m sitting here with tears running down my face, listening to you talk about what you did for the man with Parkinson’s.
Your parents should be very proud of you. Good on you!!
No clue why TH-cam decided to show me one of your videos several months back, but after watching two or three; you were an easy subscribe. Though it does look a little out of place amongst my regular IT/Space/Broadcast/RV travel channels. 😂
But. Good content is good content. If you did business where I live; I’d send everyone I know to you!
I had to tap on my tank, the suspense got me 😁😁All good!
being a senior with growing disabilities all I can say is God bless you young man. people like you are far and few between. Keep helping those that can't help themselves and good will come to you .
Thanks!
Great video Philip, keep them coming. I only wish you were closer to me. I’d hire you for all my plumbing jobs.
Great video. Would be cool sometime to see you open a failed bladder tank and see the failure point.
dropping a comment, don't have much to say, but I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Thank you !
We appreciate your knowledge and sincerity!
good job for going the extra mile!!!! Karma is real my friend!!! God bless
Outstanding video. You are very good at educating folks about plumbing problems. Your honesty shows bright and your care of each customer you encounter to solve their water system issues is noted. I only wish I had a person like you around the area to call to work some of my well water problems. Keep up the good work.
You sir, are the living definition of a Southern Gentlemen!
Awesome video! FYI: There are speciality products specifically for cleaning out 'iron reducing bacteria' in wells.
Great job! You are a blessing for your customers.
Great job sir.... My OCD would kill me on jobs like this... I would want to replace it all and redo it, so it looks like someone takes pride in their work. 🤠👍
Great video very informative, you are taking care of your customers the right way by taking the time and care to do the best job you can and looking out for what is in the best interest for your customers. We need more technicians like you in our industry. It may take you more time on a job but you will be more successful in your business and in turn be more profitable in the long run by doing your best and caring about the customer you're working for again great job young man.
That's some good information to know thanks for sharing and thank you for doing the extra that that gentleman wasn't able to do!!! God Bless you!!!!
Those were some plugged pipes. I am fortunate to have good water that doesn’t require much for treatment
Yup, neighbors don't just have to live next door..🎉
I learned a lot from this .
Another great job by a great guy and great worker !
So I do central vacuum cleaner systems, and they use a thing wall PVC, and I've never understood why glued fittings come apart, and I see it damn near constantly. That burr trick was deeply illuminating.
Interesting to watch
Just had the bladder tank replaced today, 33 gallon just about totally full of water. Had to cut off the Schrader to drain the water that was above the bladder, that was black too. Bought the house this week, home inspector didn't catch it at all, and I didn't realize it until I actually spent a day in the house and heard the system pulsing repeatedly with a toilet flushing.
Good job dude 😊
Great Job!!! Wish I could find someone locally that would do a job as good as you!
Greetings from Washington State! Don't have a well, don't need one drilled, BUT husband and myself enjoy all of your videos. 5 thumbs up! Edit: Would you open one of the pressure tanks and show us how they work from the inside?
have a good day
Look into getting a Deburring Tool for your PVC chamfers. Cheap and you might like it better.
