I have a shallow well w/jet pump and pressure tank. It has always worked fine in the past. This year, I've had some problems with the pump/tank.
I started out with the emptied tank at 18lbs (I'm almost certain the pump is 20/40, but not %100). I can prime the pump, start it up and draw as much water from it as I like. The problem is that the pump never shuts off and the tank pressure never exceeds 24psi. I have tried shutting off the outbound line on the tank and this had no effect (on building pressure).
I tried installing a new pump and the results were identical.
