My pump has always discharged water into the reservoir tank as soon as the pump is triggered on . I noticed that it takes 2 to 4 minutes now for that same process. I assume the water now has to be pumped up from its static line each and everytime the pump starts up. It has been operating this way for some time. Is there a significant downside to not getting this repaired right away? I realize it will use more electricity due to the extra work required to bring the water up ( 1/2 hp pump) Is that extra work significantly more so that early pump failure will result ? Can it be fixed without calling out the pump company?
