you never know when having an empty 400 gallon will come in handy

This actually does remind me that last year a copper pipe leading into our water meter sprung a pin hole leak as well. The rest of our house is that plastic piping but the piping around the meter and into the meter itself was copper and that's what sprung a leak. The meter was the responsibility of the city so I just called them up and they came and replaced the meter.

What a mess. Good thing for smart thinking on your part. That pic of the paint stretching is unreal.

If I ever need to run an ro/di again, I think I know of 4 possible pipes to connect to though

Paying for your own water is so over-rated!

In our house, all the piping is the new plastic stuff, but the connections to and from the well, pressure tank, and house supply, are all copper. Guess where the leak happened? In the copper ofcourse. (Right between well and pressure tank) This new plastic stuff sure seems reliable so far. I dont hear of it leaking often, and repairing it is a lot easier. (I guess its not 'new' but its more recently used)

Cheers,

Chris

Yeah and thieves won't bother to jack plastic piping from construction sites either lol.

As for the shutdown at least i got it out of my system and for good this time! went far too big without budget or time to keep it. You can't keep an addict down for long tho can you?
