Lost power today for a few hours and after it came back on I have no water. When pump has power it will run indefinitely but not put any water into pressure tank. Pump is a Goulds J05N and has been in the house since it was purchased 10 years ago. I also noticed that the pressure tank was completely drained when the power came back on.
I have pulled the pressure gauge off the top of the pump (discharge has a T fitting on it. Gauge on one side discharge to the pressure tank on the other) and added water then powered on again. When I pull the gauge off again the pump is empty. Repeat, same results.
The pump has two pipes going in to it and I know i can hear either water or air going through at least one (maybe both) when powered on but it also sounds like when I cut power water is running back into the well.
Pump issue? Well issue? I can provide images if needed.
