Hi folks.
My deep water well keeps losing prime. I'm thinking two possible causes here. When I leave a tap on and prime the well, I get pressure up to a point, then it goes VERY low... then cycles back up. Sometimes, it will lose prime completely.
I'm thinking either 1) bad pressure tank or 2) bad check valve down at the end of my lines. Now, replacing the pressure tank is the easier (but costlier) of the two. Should I try that first to see if it fixes the problem, or just go ahead and do both?
Thanks for any help you can give.
