This unit is located in a hunting cabin, with no pressure tank.
The pump started cycling very frequently after we opened up the cabin in the spring. It cycles about 10 times before it fills up the toilet bowl. Before we winterized the cabin it used to run continuously until the bowl was full. So this is an obvious change.
I can hear the pressure valve right under the well cap.
However I can not take the well cap off, because there is a check valve handle goes right through it, and the nut holding the T-handle is completely rusted onto the rod. This is how we drain the well before we close the cabin for winter.
I need to get access to the pressure valve and to the wiring to start my investigation.
If I cut off the T handle, how hard is it to replace?
Is it possible that last winter when I drained the well the impeller started turning backwards?
Or could be a pressure switch issue?
