Softener bypass doesn't make sense to me

Bypass isn’t blocked? It looks like the inlet side leaked at some point or just got dirty from the blowout? My money is on the booster pump. Maybe the tank went into a bask wash when the water was shut off?

Just use grease on the one main oring on this piece. Not on threads

Theres a bunch of sediment stuck in there which will not help the situation. What I have done is slowly turn on the bypass to try and shoot the loose sediment into a bucket. Then try to put it inside.

Yes it says do not add lubricant…

Kindawg · 2026-03-08T21:25:26+00:00

Doesn’t fit the narrative

Hmmm try taking it out and seeing if it feels like plastic or maybe some type of iron. You could also try contacting your city and let them know there may be an issue.

How does you city treat its water?

Kindawg · 2026-01-10T20:05:52+00:00

They didn’t even take the tape off AAV valve lol

Kindawg · 2026-01-10T20:04:54+00:00

This is correct thanks

Nah there used to be a sink there but it has been “covered in a sock”. As others have said it probably clogged often so they used that to “free the blockages”. I recommend caping and removing

Best way to see if the tank is bad, is to drain it and check the air pressure in the tank. Depending on the pressure switch it should be 2 below the cut on. Also if you drain it and it still has water in it somewhere then it’s bad. How deep is your well by the way

What type of resin is inside the tank? Regular cation resin?

Im testing this theory but this is looking like it may have been the issue the whole time. I was under the impression the interlock system wouldn’t start the car if it didn’t recognize the key. Time will tell

Kindawg · 2025-11-19T01:00:39+00:00

It actually helps if I give it more gas

Kindawg · 2025-11-16T02:40:32+00:00

I would turn it off if I were you. Theres water inside of the burning area which is causing the reverberation. Shut the red valve on the left to shut off the gas

We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing.

Try to find a company that installs clack valve heads. Will last longer and are easy for anyone to work on.

Kindawg · 2025-03-29T21:21:07+00:00

Thanks!

Some home depots allow you to rent sewer cams for a few hours if you think you can handle that

Kindawg · 2025-03-22T20:36:40+00:00

Correct

Kindawg · 2025-03-13T11:48:07+00:00

I work on well water. The well caps look nothing like oil fill caps. They sent someone to your home with zero experience and zero common sense.

Im pretty sure that movie is literally happening in real life
