Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I had my well pump replaced yesterday, along with pressure switch and gauge.
After pumping out a lot of brown water after the change, we have clean water again.
The only issue is the pressure is taking about 3 minutes to get back up to the cutout point, when previously it took about 10 seconds. It is also making a lot of hissing noise around the y-strainer which is located before the pressure switch.
The question is do I really need this filter in this part or can I remove it to speed up flow rate. I have 2 house filters after the pressure switch and a water softener.
I'm not sure if the original owner of the house had a filter inside his y strainer as the plumber took the old parts away with him.
Thanks.
