Today was an ugly day. I had planned on going riding. Unfortunatley, it was not to be...
4 days ago, the water pressure in our house system went flat. Dam near nothing....
I called the outfit that replaced our entire system a mere 5 years ago (for 2 grand).
Long story short...the galvanized pipe they used....in five years.... developed several holes. The pump could not keep up.
The yarded out all 130 feet of pipe, with the pump on the end....and replaced the pipe with schedule 120 PVC and SS couplers. They put it back in the hole.
It ran for a total of about five minutes and died. Again, to shorten the story...they found that the pump was bad as well. A five year old Grund..something pump. Supposed to be the very best. It is toast.
So here I am....five years down the road...staring down the barrel of a huge bill once again...I am pissed. Yea, the pump works great now....hell, it should, it is brand freakin new again!!!
Any advice??
