I have an above ground Craftsman 3/4 hp pump and had the sprinklers running last night. Woke up to unusual sounding pump (sounds air bound) and found one of the sprinkler heads had popped off, possibly causing the problem. I've heard the pump make this sound before when to many faucets and/or sprinklers zones are running and the pump can't keep up with demand.
The pump is set at 40/60, but the gauge was reading 70 when I shut off power to the pump. No water pressure in the house, even with prsssure showing on the gauge.
I believe the pump is either air bound and/or has lost prime or some other issue? Would like to try and fix myself, but i have never primed a pump or dealt with a bladder tank.
Thanks for any ideas.
