Hello, I've had this irrigation pump for a couple of years and recently the pump hasn't run for a few months. (I'm remodeling the house but don't live there, so it took me a long time to notice that the grass was dying). It's a well system feeding the irrigation only. I tried to prime the pump and I open the bleeder on the filter and air comes out out, but no rotors ever pop up.
So yesterday I decided I would run the pump (after priming) and then open up the filter housing. Expecting either no water in the housing or it to over flow, neither happened. The water just bubbled like the pump was only pushing in air. I dropped a link to a video that I took. It looks like some water is coming through but not enough.
I was wondering what my solutions are. Is my well too shallow? My pump broken? (I'm not sure if I trust the installer. I had nothing to do with that.) Do I need to keep priming?
Any advice would be great. My HOA is getting on my about the lawn.
Thanks, Chris
