Q: What psi should a well pressure tank be set at?

• <div><p>The pressure in a well pressure tank should be set 2 to 3 PSI below the pump's cut-on pressure. The cut-on pressure is the lower number in the pressure setting (e.g., the '30' in 30/50 PSI) and is the point at which the pump starts. The cut-out pressure is the higher number, where the pump stops.</p><p>For example:</p><ul><li><p>If your pressure switch is set to 30/50 PSI, the tank pressure should be 27-28 PSI.</p></li><li><p>If your pressure switch is set to 40/60 PSI, the tank pressure should be 38 PSI.</p></li></ul><p>Common pressure settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60 PSI. The difference between the cut-on and cut-out pressure is typically 20 PSI.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.</p></div>

Q: Are there signs of septic tank issues that homeowners should watch for?

• <div><p>Watch for slow drainage, pooling water in the yard, or unpleasant odors inside or outside. Addressing these issues timely avoids significant disruptions or costs.</p></div>

Q: How far can I hand drill a well?

• <div><p>The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you&rsquo;re using will determine how far down you can dig. </p></div>

Q: Can toilet paper be flushed with a septic tank?

• <div><p>Yes! Toilet paper can be flushed if you use a septic tank. While unique toilet papers designed to be used with septic tanks are available, many people have no problem flushing regular toilet paper with a septic tank, so long as you don&rsquo;t flush too much toilet paper all at once. Do not flush any type of baby wipes or bathroom wipes, even if they say &ldquo;flushable.&rdquo;</p></div>

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."

For example:

If your pressure switch is set to 30/50 PSI, the tank pressure should be 27-28 PSI.
If your pressure switch is set to 40/60 PSI, the tank pressure should be 38 PSI.

Common pressure settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60 PSI. The difference between the cut-on and cut-out pressure is typically 20 PSI.
