I have a brand new jet pump with a shallow well. The well has a steel casing inside a concrete well tile. The water flows over the top of the two foot tall well tile. When the two plastic pipes to the pump in the basement are disconnected, water pours out of them.
The pump will occasionally lose pressure and either not be able to get above 40 pounds or will even just drop to zero while trying to pump. I shut off the pump for 30 seconds, turn back on, and the pump regains pressure.
The pump specialist who installed it is stumped.
My wife has had it with interrupted showers while I run to the basement to switch the pump off and on again.
We are afraid to run laundry or dishwasher when we are not home since the pump will just run forever, or until it burns out.
Thank you for any input.
