Q: Do I have to add air to a well pressure tank?

• <div><p>Bladder and diaphragm well pressure tanks are usually pre-charged at the factory. Even so, it&rsquo;s important to check the air pressure in the tank using a tire pressure gauge on the relief valve. The instruction manual usually calls for 28 psi. Use a hand pump to add more air or release some air from the tank to reach the desired number. Check the pressure periodically to see if you need to add more air to the tank. </p></div>

Q: How far down is a septic tank lid?

• <div><p>A septic tank lid is often 1 foot underground, but it could be just 4 inches from the surface or 4 feet deep. For septic tank lids that are closer to the surface, you&rsquo;ll have an easier time locating them just by looking for signs in the yard or using a metal probe. But for septic tanks that are buried deeper underground, you&rsquo;ll need to hire a pro with specialized equipment to track down the lid without risk of damaging utility lines.</p></div>

Q: What are common well pump issues?

• <div><p>Common problems include low water pressure, no water, and strange noises. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.</p></div>

Q: How do you replenish good bacteria in a septic tank?

• <div><p>You can replenish good bacteria in your septic tank by adding three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast every three months. Put three overripe tomatoes in the garbage disposal while running the faucet. Or pour 1/4 ounce of yeast in the toilet and flush it down. These are the best natural ways to increase bacteria in your septic tank. Septic tank additives are not necessary and may even cause harm to your septic system.</p></div>

Q: How deep is a 1,000-gallon septic tank?

• <div><p>The depth of your septic tank has nothing to do with its size. In fact, some septic tanks can even be installed above-ground! Like other sizes, a 1,000-gallon septic tank could be buried as shallow as 4 inches below the ground or as deep as 4 feet. It all depends on your specific property.</p></div>

James was able to get me rebates on my tankless water heater that basically made the tankless the same price as a conventional tank water heater he saved the day. Thanks again James
