that is one of problems with these smarthead and also the tankless heaters, pieces of crud and pvc cutting can stick the valve switches
in addition to common circuit failure.

Update... finally had the pump scrapped

The build up inside was crazy
Was told to use a 40 micron washable filter on the line that goes into the pump

Mine looked like that after 4 years.

The water is always clear. occasionally after wasa does work we'll get a few hours of mauby, and I try to mitigate it entering home by leaving the yard tap running.

I think the chlorine also breaks down to this kinda mucky gunk

Never do that... pump will cavitate and destroy itself. Whoever gave you that advice need licks... just service the pump every 6 months and it should be okay.

^ yeah, you don't want to have any restrictions on the pump feed line X_factor. Maybe get some settling tanks or even putting some filters close to the storing tanks, or maybe just filter the water to the kitchen lines and bath lines... might end up being cheaper to maintain.

You can install a filter before your pump. Just make sure that you set it up so that you can flush it often, and you will be good to go. Cleaning a strainer weekly, is much better than servicing a pump bi-annually.

i see a install in the contractors group where they put two pressure gauges, one on each side of the filter

apparently if the pressure drops between on the outlet side of the filter it mean it clogged and time to clean/change

Please rethink your recommendation. You cannot put a filter before your pump. You would starve the pump for water, the pump will cavitate and air mixture would destroy the impeller and the casing.

You always want the least restrictions as possible on the suction side of your pump.

it will only work when water is actively flowing
otherwise it will normalize to same on both sides when all taps locked off

So it easy enough to check while your tanks filling or by opening a tap

The filter goes just after the mains - then the filtered water goes to the tanks and then the pump pushes the water into your residential lines or business whatever .

Depending where you live - the filter needs changing every 1-2 weeks - but the water is cleaner for general use.

A good idea is to clean the tank before installation of the filter - you will appreciate the huge difference :angel:

Yes the filter on the fill line of the tank is fine... but not on the suction side of the pump.

And you may find that it is better and logical to use a clear plastic container that holds the filter so you can see when the filter gets dirty and ready to change out :angel:

Ok ok Bingo time !

Just for fun do you know why the water is dirty or the major cause of your dirty WASA water :roll:


Whoever gives the right answer will get first view of the a special lunch brunch tomorrow :lol:

They have been holding out with light to moderate use for over 3 years.
These pumps are sold with unions and lock offs so that an incentive to buy.
