Thank you for making such an informative video. From someone that doesn't know anything about wells, I'm extremely thankful.

Have an amazing day!

This was very helpful. I knew nothing about how any of this worked in my house and after watching the video I feel as if I can identify and understand how my well works. Thank You!

[Zackmack]

Hey there, Im very grateful for your clear and thorough system walkthrough.

[laurahall]

This is an excellent video. Straight to the point, no fluffing around.
Thank you for posting. VERY good work.

Thanks so much for your very clear explanation of the water system. I bought an old mobile home with similar system and I didn't have a clue what I was getting myself into. Thanks again

[lisawodke]

Thank you so much for your video this was extremely helpful. I have been looking at well videos for over an hour yours is the only one that actually explain to me what I was looking at in my pump house thank you so much.

[jeremyfahrni]

Very informative. Thank you. Im about to buy a new home and watched your video to help me understand the components of a well system. And yes, I learned a few things. Thank you!

This is *extremely* helpful for me as a new homeowner. Thank you very much!

*Thank you* for taking the time to do this video - we've just taken over care of my parents' house, which has well water to part of the house. I needed a primer (ha!) on what's what with the system..

Thank you for recording this. Very helpful!

I installed it friday and it is working great and thanks for the info .It is around 50 on the 40/60 pressure switch .

When I saw videos of people pulling their pumps up to replace them, it was a mystery how the water left the well below the freeze line. I looked at more videos and asked several people and got some cockamamie answers. Various illustrations that I saw online were no help either. Finally I saw an illustration that labeled something called the pitless adaptor several feet down which was the answer to my mystery. I wish someone would make a thorough explanation of wells instead of so many that are just overviews.

[amandamccracken]

Thank you. That was very educational and easy to understand

[saplays]

I know this is an older video, but thanks so much! I moved into a house that has a well and I had no idea "how" is worked other than it had electric ran to it. Thanks!

There are lots of different setups, so you always need to examine the system in question. In this type of system, the pressure tank acts as a buffer and for storage of pressure, not unlike a battery in an automotive electrical system.

Thank you for the video. I have a well and municipal water plumbed in together and I was wanting to know how the well worked in case I wanted to see if it still runs

[blakebiltwell]

At 4:35 when shutting off water to the house, the well water tank pressure should stay the same. Is this correct?

[rickgandy]

Very helpful info about the filter. I had my water tested and it's fine so I'm running it direct with a water softener.

[freedomfighter]

Participant / sediment filter is very important, always install, otherwise those particles will end up in other device in the house like Dishwasher, refrigerator, water dispenser and ice maker, washer machine,  toilets and your body if you drink and use the water for cooking or drinking...

[jasonbird]

Thanks for the information. Very well explained!
