Hi everyone. Im new to owning a house with a well system. It seems straight foward but complicated.. hopefully all you gurus can help me. Ive lived here for 8 months with no water problems except for very high tds meter reading if that matters (550ish). Heres the story:
I took a hot shower,nothing long or fancy my typical shower. When i came out i heard my pump running. My wife went and took a shower and she said the water turned off 3 times. When i turned on the sink no water came out. I hear the pump turn on and off every 45secs or so. It stays running for 45s and then off. It foes that till it reaches 60psi. The pump is set to 40-60.
I have drained all the water from well tank and checked air pressure its 38psi. I turned pump back on went to 41psi and started to cycle on and off until it reached 60. No water was being used during the test. What should i be looking for ? Is this a common problem? Simple fix? Any other info you need plz let me know. Thanks..
