As stated in my initial blurb, the pump sits at 200 feet. I cannot find any data (from the installer) that states the depth of the static water level; however, I know there likely is hardly any draw-down during use, since the well digger said he'd never seen so much water. This tells me the...

Hmmm, if the check valve stops the 16 gallons of water from leaking out of the system, how does that weight slam into the check valve on pump start--since the water is already right at the check valve?

You are the first person that answered my specific questions. Thank you; however, if you have a couple of === exact model === suggestions--of the many check valves available--I would certainly appreciate it. I can't inhibit the pump to only when the irrigation system is on, for a number of...

The pump’s performance has never been in doubt—it does a great job. It’s the below ground leak that is my supposed problem. And I’m still hoping for answers to: 1) Please recommend a first-rate check valve (spring? stainless steel? ===> Brand/model?) that would fulfill this requirement. 2)...

I came to the conclusion that the leak is somewhere in the well because the distance to the well head from the tank is only about 15 feet and is buried only a few inches below the ground—which is “sweet Georgia clay.” There is no sign of any water leaking from this area. As noted, I have a...

I have six (6) zones, each with its own zone valve. It would be interesting to try to have all the zone valves open for a short time when the pump is powered on . . . . And I’m still hoping for answers to: 1) Please recommend a first-rate check valve (spring? stainless steel? ===>...

Your response has me perplexed: If the leak has been isolated to somewhere inside the well and I (probably) place the check valve near the well head (to hold the water in the well’s piping), how could any surface groundwater contaminate my water supply? and I’m still hoping for answers to: 1)...

Please help me understand. If the check valve I install does exactly what the failing/failed check valve is supposed to do that is inside the pump (that is, keep water in the entire system piping), why would there now be a water hammer thump? Also, if I could get your expertise on my...

Here’s my sad story: 3 hp pump (25 gpm) at 200 feet. Well is 385 feet. 10 years old. Water only used for irrigation of large lawn. Good water (no sediment; some iron content). 1 1/4” PVC system piping. 20 gal tank (38 psi). 40/60 pressure switch. 50 psi CSV at top of well. Except for...
