I got a well and I like to install this but not in the wellitself just the oulet pipe that gpes to the home, is this possible?

I only have a 5 foot to the water well, and although the pump primed and had about a cup of water every 15 seconds, it would not pump without well water first going through a shallow well pump.

Good Evening Ana Laura Lewellen. If your well is a shallow well with above ground equipment, Yes the pump will work. Are you using the existing expansion tank?

No. I used what I had when I installed it. If you need an extension to the water line, go to Home Depot and you can get one fairly cheap.

Hey Kevin, I am a plumber and I don't see why you could not install one or the other. I would prefer not to have a mechanical joint if not necessary. If needed at a later date, I would simply cut the pipe and install a coupling at that time. Hope this helps

Yes you can, but only if it's a small hole or slit and the marine-tex must be applied all the way around the pipe. Try it, if still leaking cut it and solder a coupling.

I didn't know that two-way pump/faucet units were available, to run under pressure or as a hand pump. I sort of doubt it, and it might be pricey. It would seem easier and cheaper to install a regular faucet as well as this hand pump.

If you're comfortable tapping into an existing water supply line, the answer would be, "No. This unit is very DIY friendly." The unit comes with the necessary fittings and hardware, as well as detailed instructions on how to install the supply line and filter. We found it very easy to do so ourselves, but you may consider hiring the services of a plumber or handyman to help if this sounds a little more involved than you're comfortable with. I hope that helped!

Hi,Yes. you will be able to do. Do not forget to buy the valve too. They are separate .

Yes! You just disconnect the hose leading to the barrel and then use the provided stopper to plug up the same nozzle leading from the diverter. (The principle on which it works is that, with nowhere to go, the water just builds up inside the diverter and drains as it would normally) You don't need to removed the diverter itself. I like this diverter. So far it's been maintenance free and works VERY effectively. My two rain barrels fill up very quickly and when full, the rain pours down the normal downspout. I would fully recommend this diverter. Make sure you follow the instructions and don't cut out too much of a gap when installing!

Yes. They give recommendation of water service placement distances from the front wall. You drill the holes and can place it wherever you want.

The pump can be installed in a couple of places in the piping, and the Grundfos unit comes with full and clear installation information. If you don't have plumbing or piping experience, I agree it would be wise to hire a plumber to install it. I did it myself, adding isolation valves, a check valve, and a strap-on thermostat to cycle the pump, but I have the experience and tools to do it. I also bought a timer that will allow it to run only during normal usage times. If it is limited in actual net running time to about 1/2 hour a day, it should last 20 years or more.

I'm sure you can do it. You just have to get the right fittings and flexible pipe. After you get the filter housing, take it to a plumbing supply house or even Home Depot and put together what you need.

I don't know, as I had installed at a country home with a septic and that was not an option. However, my son who is my contractor and installer, he should be able to tell me so I will ask and get back to you.

No. I replaced the pipe coming out of the wall ,with a 2 1/2 pipe tread. But yours could be a different set up.

If you have a separate breaker box next to the appliance then you can install it at that location. This is what I did with my water well. I have another installed at the main breaker of the house. Because the well house is located 50' from the house I decided to install one there to protect from a direct lightning strike on the well house. If you're not familiar with this type of installation then please consult a professional electrician.

Well, this is made to go onto the main water pipe feeding your house, so you may not have access to that. For an apartment maybe one that fits onto your faucet might be better.

This unit comes with everything you will need to connect to the plumbing under say a kitchen sink. It will connect to a standard sized cold water hose. It has an adapter piece. You disconnect your cold water sink hose from the cold water shut off, screw the adapter on the shut off then attach your sink hose to the adapter. There is a connection on adapter that feeds the ro system - this is a pex hose. To connect to a well, I would think you would have to install a tee and reduce the end going to RO. This unit IS NOT a whole house system -

You can purchase the add on to your eave that you can switch from one barrel to other. You have to switch it manually when one of the barrels gets full, but would work! We put the add on to our eave spout, so we can switch it from the barrel, when it gets full and send it out to our regular drainage that drains onto our lawn!!
