The CSV is interesting. Can't say I've heard of it. The problem is fixed for now, but I was thinking of getting a LARGER pressure tank and putting a Pressure limiter/regulator on the output. The CSV is an interesting option.

No picture but tank was 18 psi or so low. Pumped it up and issue resolved. Did notice a bunch or rust afterwards. Will keep an eye on tank and start pricing replacement. It is 19 yo and I hear they don't make them like they use to. Yes pressure switch and gauge on Tee @ the pressure tank.

Good info. Never knew about the Vinegar, but should have known from my spa maintenance. Pressure switch and gauge are mounted on/at bladder tank. Pressure drops immediately at cutout and holds.

God I hope not. I will be flushing the chlorine out of the system today and checking bladder pressure. Hopefully during this time whatever is causing this stops. Fingers crossed, otherwise gonna have to pay up. No more free time to be messing with this.

OK - Got new pump installed and have water, not really as I added sanitizer to well and am waiting to really use water. Did find a strange problem: Pressure will build to 60 (set cut out) and bounce then immediately drop to 50. Cut in is set to 40 so I have a short cycle problem. Gonna drain...

OK, so what would cause the pump to fail like this? It is a Franklin motor and Bruiser 7SB10422 pump head.

House is 19+ years old. Pump runs hard all summer watering the lawn (not cycling). Anyway, I woke up this AM to no water and the bladder tank empty. Checked breaker, good. Checked voltage at pressure switch, good (both sides with switch closed). Checked voltage at well head, good. No sound...
