How long does treated wood last?

ANSWER:Under optimal conditions, 15-20 years. In the direct sunlight, with no added treatments on your part, as little as 3-5 years. 20 years lucky ....15 maximum for treated wood, now when you retreat it over and over you keep weakening it further and further because all wood preservatives soften the fibers and naturally the result is crumbly wood but all wood preserved not exposed to the environment could outlive you, inotherwards the fence posts you put into the ground will rot above ground and 50 years later the part under the ground will likely still be as fresh and new as when you put them into the ground ...even a treated wood foundation for a playhouse or shed will still be like new .

Do you have a problem your well Water Pump Pressure Control Switch is making a lot of noise and you have a lot of air in your water lines?

You need to switch off the pump, drain the pressure tank and fit a new pressure switch. They are cheap and often last only a few years. When re fitting make sure the pressure tank residual pressure is about 2 PSI LESS than the pressure switch ON setting. In most domestic wells systems the pressure switch comes ON at 30 PSI, so the tank air should be 28 or so..
