I just installed a new sumerged well pump, 135' deep shorted line 10 feet as had water at 60' and old line was muddy looking at bottom few feet, would get some mud from old pump at times, or residue not pure brown water.
installed new pump went from 3/4hp to 1 hp. hooked up and worked but here is where it get strange. the metal pipe with shut valve and pipe to bladder tank would shock me if I touched it. Thought I had skinned wire putting it back in. pulled again. put new wire and water pipe. reconnected.. still would shock me. called a electrian freind. the pressure switch was not grounded. he connected a wire to ground and grounded to metal pipe and no more shock. Thought all is well,,LOL
water works good no problem, good pressure much better then before old pump died. but water in glass is milky. it is millions of tiny bubbles and will clear in few seconds, 10 or 15. taste fine.
Checked out side water outlet for hose. it is fine and no bubbles. this water comes from pvc pipe after bladder tank and off supply line that goes in whole house. but in sink it is milky, wife cant stand it and demands I fix it. took strainer out of fauct thought it could be that. but no difference. still milky.
in bathroom sink same. odd the bath tub is not as bad. toilet is clear but think bubble leave out of holding tank. so not fair check
the system has a pressure bladder tank, then to a water filter, 2 upright round cylinder tanks with a timer for a back wash (was in house when bought house but did not work and would manual move timer to make it back flush. ) when has shocking problem and grounded pressure swtich timer started working and was back flushing 1 time a day. I disconnected it. thought that was the problem. did not help.
water then goes to hot water heater and cold out to house.
what is causing this.???? not a suction leak as it is a submerged pump. why would start after new pump? no leaks in pumping that I see. driving me crazy i could live with it, but wife said fix it or else LOL
