First symptom was very low water pressure followed by low waterpressure and black water. I shut the pump down(braker panel) and began trouble shooting. First I disconnected my main water supply so I could verify my well was full and pump was working. I got black water for a few seconds then a perfect flow of beautiful clear water. I checked my pressure switch which remained on allowing the pump to work. I opened the shut off valve at the tank, water flowed fine. I checked the pressure at the top of my State Pumpmate well tank(spmd52) with a tire pressure gauge it read 38psi.
It appears my tank is not taking in water and I am drawing directly from my well pump. Do I need a new tank? P.S. I discovered a leak earlier in the week when I saw water leaking out of the back of my house which actually saturated the ground. I think it was leaking for a few days, it was a bad toilet bowl shut off valve which I repaired. This is when my troubles began. Thanks for your help.
