the "NO SEE UM" Contractor Scam! PULLED & Released w/NEW UPDATES

What happens here

After the new tank is in place, the old tank is drained. The water draining from the old tank is discolored and smells foul, indicating a ruptured bladder inside the tank. The well service technician then adjusts the system's pressure, aiming for a turn-on pressure of 40 PSI and a shut-off pressure of 60 PSI, which are typical settings for a residential well system.

Goal: Verify old tank failure and set correct system pressure.

Tools and materials

  • Pressure Gauge — Monitoring and adjusting system pressure
  • Old Pressure Tank — To drain remaining water and inspect for failure signs

hey mike or tyler there's a lot of really putrid water in the bottom of this is that normal or is that unusual or something else going on with it what's that inside that bathroom yeah so when that's different punches the whole thing acts as like uh just just a tank there's no air pressure pushing it back okay so aerial water will just stay in there so if the tank is bad it's normal to see bad water in it yeah just stacking water yeah but if the tank is good you shouldn't see that shouldn't see as much okay so we've got it cranked up to 80 pounds of pressure because we were compensating trying to get it fixed we're gonna turn it down and tyler's got a pressure gauge in his hand do you gotta run that back on the house again tyler okay so he's gonna hook that up to the outside spigot i'll drain some pressure off from it and then we'll see where we're at what are you seeing turned on at about 43. i shut off at 60. [Music] so we're all set so i'll get this wrapped up i'm gonna shovel some dirt onto it just protect it okay i'm gonna shovel a lot of dirt onto it
