Guess What I’m Posting About…

I would really like to have something to post about that wasn’t complaining about my lack of success in getting water flowing to the house but … as you might understand … there is little else on my mind.

I spent seven hours solid working on it yesterday. I completely re-plumped the line out from the pump, put in a new back-flow vale, new pressure sensor, spend hours crouched, undoing pipes and assembling new ones, and rewiring the system.

The result?

No change.

Today I get to start right at the beginning of the line again. Once more, I will disassemble the pumping unit itself -as much as it can be- and inspect it for any possible cause for the reason the water isn’t flowing right.

Had a moment late last night where I realized I had connected up the pressure switch wrong. Went out with one last dying ember of hope– it got extinguished by all the water spurting everywhere. Not the issue. Clearly would have been if the water was working right but as it is not – didn’t change a thing.

I ACHE from my feet to the base of my skull. My mind is hurting from going over this system and all possible reasons over and over and over again.

I’d like to throw up my hands and say ‘Enough’ but that just isn’t an option. So instead I say ‘Again’.
