Hey everyone,
My well is the original well when my house was built in 1969 and it's a deep well jet system at 90 feet. Meyers pump and 3 year old bladder tank. I have been noticing that the pump will kick on at random times when water is not being used. I did a test yesterday and closed the valve to the line going to the house and confirmed that the well itself is leaking. It leaks about 3-4 psi per hour until it hits the low pressure mark and kicks back on. Since it's such a small leak, should I be concerned about this and have a well guy look at it? The area around the well (its in a pit, I can open a door and see the top of the well) is dry. Could it be a leaky foot valve? My neighbor says a previous owner had a new pump installed and had the entire well serviced in the mid 90's.
Thanks!
Rob
