Thanks speedbump, The check valve is gone and so is the bang. The valve was broken inside. The well holds pressure so there is no leak down from the pumps check valve. Thanks again for your help. Rick

Well if GOD (plumbing inspector) says it needs it :mad: you know he nows more than those who do this for a living. Its the same around here in MD with inspectors. Thanks for your help Rick

Anyway, you should remove it. If it were working like it's supposed to, you would be possibly masking other problems that occur down the well with age. One more thing, if I were to remove it do I need to pull the pump and add one at the pump or will the pump act as a check valve...

Thanks, I read that on other post. Why after 19 years it never did this and now it does? Thanks

Love the site, I have a 19 year old submersible pump well with a well trol tank (7 years old) all has been fine. Last week it started to bang near the tank T with the switch,gauge and check valve. I checked the pressure in the tank and it is within 2 PSI cut in/out. We have no problem...
