Hi there.
My well stopped wrking a few days ago and the pump guy installed a new pumptec, said the old one was toast, switched the pressure switch, asked me for $300 and left.
20 minutes later I had to reset the pressure switch. SInce then I have to reset the pressure switch every time we use water. The taps will run for a few minutes with good pressure then it will dwindle and eventually it will spit and splutter and finally it''ll trickle. I reset the pressure switch and it's good again for a short while.
So, I realize that my pumptec was probably not toast and that I probably won't get my $300 back...(Merry Christmas I guess!) Anybody have any ideas about what the problem is?
One more thing, this problem began about a few hours before a power outage that lasted about 88 hours - could something need bleeding or resetting after such a long period of inactivity?
Pump is a 1/2 horse jacuzzi, down about 90 feet in a well that's about 120. Entire system is just over 5 years old.
Thanks for your help,
