We Have Water. Yay! It Flows.
Tags: Life
The water is running from our taps once more at 35 pounds of pressure. You don't get much water flow at 5 pounds of pressure. We can shower again!
The problem was air trapped in the elbow in the line at the well, so much air that there wasn't room for more than a faint trickle of water to get through. Fixing the flow required someone to put on tall boots and get down in there. That required the well be treated with chlorine bleach. Now my water tastes of boots and bleach but it's flowing! I think I'll do lots of laundry today, whites first.
