    Well pump problems, possible leak.

    Thanks Brother! Yeah, I started looking at it a lot closer, and said Nope to Vince. I showed him the double line, and he was like Nope as well. I'm trying to recall the name of a pump maker that I heard good things about, a long time ago. Red something or other. Does it spring any thoughts?

    Ahh shoot. NVM, I didn't realize I'd have to run an additional 160 feet of line to make that work.

    Thank you Haleema Khokar for the info there. For Reach4 or anyone else, This pump is 16.7 GPM, and has a hea ddepth of 183 feet. Would something like this work, so I could eliminate having to pull that damn water line over and over and over again, while still getting water to the house...

    Thank you Reach4. I'll let everyone know. Can you possibly recommend a pump in the 7gpm range, that is at least affordable? I looked at one, and it was 1100 bucks. No way I can swing that. at most, we may be able to come up with $250 or so.

    Oh sorry, your question. If you close the valve after the pressure tank, blocking the house from using water, how much water pressure can you develop in 10 seconds, and a minute? IT looks like none. However, when trying to take air out of the tank, It's staying at 60 PSI. or around there...

    Ok, I'm looking at Zoellers catalogue on their site, and not seeing a sump pump for a well. I see plenty of above ground pumps. Did you maybe post in the wrong thread, trying to answer some one else's question? Or am I just blind LOL. The pump I have is that 1 HP cheapo from Hallmark.

    Well pump problems, possible leak.

    OK, went out and fiddled with the pump switch, and was able to get the water hose, which is before the tank, flowing, not quite constantly, but enough to fill two 5 gallon jugs, and the dogs swimming pool. Water remained cold. Turned the water on to the house, and bam, air sucked in again...

    Well pump problems, possible leak.

    Thank you so much for that. I've wondered about the adjustments on the pump switch for a long time now, but wasn't sure exactly which way to go, or which screw to use. I will let the air out of the tank as well. Now let me ask this please. Before I did any testing this morning, I lifted up on...

    Well pump problems, possible leak.

    Ok I really read the pump wrong then when I got it. My well is about 160' deep, so I thought 207 ' build would be plenty. So I need to go to a larger pump, which means I'll have to go to 220 line or something. I tried switching the pump switch this morning, with another one I had laying around...
