hi,
Have a 3/4 HP 2 line jet pump that pumps from our lake. Approximately 200 feet of waterline pumping up grade.
Noticed this year that pressure on pump starts off around 30 when using water then drops to 20 after 2 minutes then drops to 10 after 8 minutes. At this point pump sounds like it’s sputtering a bit and isn’t running smooth.
As soon as we turn water off the pump jumps back to 30 and runs smooth.
The pump is always running and isn’t cycling with the pressure tank.
I dove the other day and the foot valve looks clean and in good condition
Any ideas how to proceed?
Thanks
