No there is not. Pressure has to be measured. The best way is with a gauge. They sell them at Home Depot that hook directly to the outside water faucett.
Hello,
We had a little "incident" on Friday with our well. We were getting the house ready for company and we were watering the lawn, running the dishwasher and just cleaning. Too make a long story short, the water was running "red/brown" for a few seconds and I ended up having to clean every faucet screan and flushing the toilets 3 times each!
I've had a filter I've been meaning to install. I actually called the "well guy" this morning to get some info on our well. In talking to him, he advised me NOT to install the filter in between the pressure switch and the well tank. He told me to install it on the main line, after the tank. He also said to get a filter that's 20 microns or bigger. He said the 5 micron ones will cause a serious drop in pressure.
Since the main line is copper, I think I may call in a plumber to install the filter. I'm pretty confident that I could "sweat" pipes, but I don't want to "re-learn" on this job! What's a good price to get someone to install a filter?
Any thoughts regarding the 20vs 5 mircron filters?
Thanks,
