Hey guys I'm new to the Forum and love it! I've got 8 rental properties with most of them on well. I'm having a problem at one of them. The well is 85 feet deep with no foot valve. It is 2 inches in diameter with a check valve at the top and the water table is approximately 8 feet down. It has a brand new Sta-Rite three quarter horse pump which is located 25 feet from the Wellhead with 1 1/4 piping. I do have a pressure tank and a sediment strainer and my pressure switch is set at 50. I have pressure tested and vacuum tested from the pump to the check valve and there are no leaks. It's next to impossible to get this pump primed but once I do it loses Prime after a day or so. My theory is either the Wellhead is blocked and not allowing sufficient water flow or Worse, maybe the two inch casing is leaking. For what it's worth I can unscrew the wellhead plug and fill it with a water hose and it will slowly fill to the top so there is some restriction at the bottom. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
