Well 150' feet deep
Meyers pump located in the well
Check valve in the pump, check valve located right at bladder tank
Sometimes my pressure switch 40/60 turns on (closes) at 40psi ; however, I get no sound of water rushing into my lines. I count to 30 or 40secs and then have water. I have concluded it must be faulty check valve in the pump and I am slowing losing all the water down the 150' of well piping OR the pump receives power at 40psi turn on; however, the pump doesn't turn on right away. Can I put a meter on the power line at the pressure switch to see if pump is actually working and that water is slowly coming up the line in the well?
Problem is when using water in the house, switch turns on asking for more water, no new water enters house and the pressure is dropping rapidly. As water now getting closer to top of the line, the pressure is now at 30psi and the switch kicks off permanently for safety factor. now requires manual reset.
What you pro's think?
Thanks
