    Water Pressure Off by 5 PSI

    Thank you. I will try this. To make sure I do it right- When you say "with the pump off" do you mean to turn off the water pump via the circuit breaker or just make sure it is not running (i.e., filling the water tank)?

    Water Pressure Off by 5 PSI

    Thank you. I forgot to mention in the original post that the failed foot valve was not replaced. A new check valve was instead placed in the pvc piping in the well head. There is no other second check valve. I know this is not ideal. The current submersible pump is 11 years old so I will have...

The switch is a 40/60 but the water pump cuts on at 35 (I hear the pressure switch click) and although cuts off at 60 the water pressure decreases to around 56 after the pump turns...

    Lots of Sediment After Pump Short Cycling Fixed

    Thank you for the quick response. I should have been more clear- they put the check valve in the pipes that are right underneath the well wall cover- when you open the well wall cover the check valve is the first thing you see. It probably doesn't make a difference but thought I would clarify.

    Lots of Sediment After Pump Short Cycling Fixed

    Hi Everyone, Any advice you may be able to give me would be greatly appreciated! I just had the water tank and check valve replaced on my 400 foot well. The water pressure gauge had been short cycling very rapidly between 40 and 60 psi meaning the pump was cutting off and on very quickly which...
