I have a well and pressure tank (Well-X-Trol WX-250). Upon troubleshooting low water pressure in our home, I discovered that our pressure tank is never filling and our well pump is running constantly.
- The pressure gauge at the front of the WX-250 shows a constant 27 PSI. This drops to 0 when the power is turned off to the pump, and drops to 10-15 when a faucet is turned on inside the house. The pump always runs and the pressure will not go above this.
- Initially the air pressure inside the WX-250 was around 10 PSI. I increased this to the recommended 38 PSI but it seems to not have had an impact.
- I'm sure water isn't going into the pressure tank. When I turn off the power to the pump and open the valve from the tank, no water comes out. The tank is also very light.
