During the Christmas time Billy and his family went back over to the states. Billy has three people living there. They are like his kids. They all work and even have go to school too. So not having water to bath and just get cleaned up is no fun at all. During his time away, there was some trouble with the water system. I looked at it and thought, no problem. Just replace the pressure switch. The reason I did that was. The pump would not go on at all. So after replacing the switch, it ran but it would not shut off. It would just try to keep running on the off, very fast. So thought what else can I do? So I bleed the water off the tank. No change. Added air to the tank. No, By God's grace Bob came in and we tried a couple of other things. Billy came home and we told him all that has happen about the water. So now Billy and I went down and bought a new pump. $420.00. Plus fittings too. Put in check valve after the pump. Still jumping all over. What I am trying to say about the pump is, it starts to build pressure and then it starts (clicking on and off)the pressure switch. It will not shut off. So we have to shut off the 220 volts with the main switch. We tried every thing we could think of. Still not right. So yesterday we found this old water tank that I gave him a while back, to build a grill out of it. We cleaned it up and hooked it all back up. MICKEY MOUSE, but it WORKS. So right now we have pipe here and there and just looks like a old show I use to love to watch, Three Stooges. Remember how they were called to repair some plumbing? They found out that there was wires in the pipes and they cleaned all of that out. Turn on the water and flooded the place. I look at what we did and just laugh. It works and Billy is happy and I guess we are too. So now him and his family can take showers and do their thing.
Down the road I told Billy maybe to buy a liner for the old tank and get rite of all this pipes and run it neatly.
