The fellow at the hardware store informed me that if I was tying water line grade PVC into drainage grade PVC for an incoming water line and the city found out, they could disconnect our water.
"I have a well."
"Oh."
In general, we spent the entire weekend getting the full force of water from the well pump in our faces as we tried to fix a myriad of plumbing band aids put into place by the previous owner. By Saturday evening, we had no more dry clothing to wear as the dryer could not keep up with the challenge. We would replace a car radiator hose that was held in place by hose clamps with actual PVC, then turn the system on and POW! A nearby pipe would burst because it had once been repaired with an under the sink drain pipe and no glue...
At the end of the day, we now have a new water heater, silt filter, and mostly non-leaking pump house. We also have sub standard water pressure to about half our fixtures up at the house. My guess? SAND.
