Where did everybody go?
They didn't tell me where they went.

Arrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh!!
Above is quote from Robert.
OK - back on New Year's Eve, while mowing the lawn, i ran over a fawcett head out in the middle of the yard.
Since then, there have been three more pipe breaks...
We got the pipe break from last night repaired today.
Four hours later, we have a geyser in the front yard.
We can't get up with the plumber, so called our neighbors to ask who they used. They said THREE other neighbors had their water mains burst today.
ARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!
Okay now I know where Robert is. Is it copper or PVC? It sounds like there might be surges in your water main. There is an accumulator you can put in your line to deal with this. Unfortunately, I had a plumber do mine. (I am not real thrilled about soldering with a blow torch.)[:(]
PVC.
Most of the problem i think is that the water pressure is WAY too high. Someone claims it has gotten so dry around here that the soil is shrinking, causing pressure on the pipes, which then rupture.
Robert;
An accumulator may still help you. They put it on the supply side on your side of the meter. Here in Florida, when they put in a new meter, they are also putting in a check valve that prevents water from going back into water supply. Unfortunately this can mean pressure spikes on your side. The accumulator gives a volume of space for this spike to go to lessen the pressure spike.

Morning all,
Well what a manic week this new job start has turned out to be. It's very different working for an American company too. This is going to be a tough job. Just saying hi to all before off to a day of meetings in 1 & 1/2 hours time.
Hope all Threaders are well.
