Good to see a real world repair instead of a brand new one in a lab. Thanks.

[@shauntampa]

I slide a piece of 1 1/2” copper over the pry bar for easier removal of the checks.

[@dave_adamson]

Good piece of advice

[@micahlauritzen3828]

What kind of check valve removal tool is that?

[@dave_adamson]

It should be linked in the comments. But it's an Ames SS check removal tool.

[@TopTierDoberman]

What is inlet pressure, because we istalled same but our inlet pressure is 14 psi and due to that water not able to cross BFP because its inside clappers are very tight.

[@dave_adamson]

Inlet pressure is just the water source. So village or well system. They make booster pumps to help push more water and more pressure. The number one check is usually 8-10 pounds so I can see that low of pressure being and issue
