    Low well pressure. Help! I’m at a loss

    There was a leak in the line from the well to the house, so I replaced that. Still wouldn’t build full pressure. Ended up pulling the pump and replacing the well line because that’s the only thing that wasn’t new. Fixed the problem even though I never could find an issue with the well line. Went...

    Low well pressure. Help! I’m at a loss

    As stated. When I bought the house the pump was .5 hp and ran a 30-50 no problem. My height could be off. I dropped a string with a nut on it then walked it off. So it’s an estimation. The water pressure was fine until about a month ago( I noticed pressure drop and my electric bill went from ~75...

    Low well pressure. Help! I’m at a loss

    I’ll have to get back on the model number. The drop line didn’t seem to have any holes when I pulled it. Could be a hole between the house and well drop line though. I haven’t pulled that.

    I Its a two wire pump, I haven’t had time to mess with it anymore this weekend, but iirc it’s a self priming pump, it’s a zoeller .5 horsepower. I have not checked the voltage, what should it be? The water runs back if I cut off the breaker if that makes a difference

    Low well pressure. Help! I’m at a loss

    I recently started having water pressure issues. Off the bat I replaced the pressure switch and cleaned out the tube it connects to. It still read 20 psi when I turned the breaker off, so new psi gauge. Cut the power back on and still reads 20 psi. I contacted the previous owner and he told me...
