I had a pipe break before my pressure tank, therefore the pump kept running for possibly up to 24 hours. when I found the break, the water was a very slow stream, and the pump was still running there was NO water going to the tank therefore the pressure switch never tripped. I turned it off for a day, and when I turned it on again, the flow seemed to be OK again.
Can anyone explain what happened?
- Do well pumps have some sort of defense for this situation where it throttled down the flow rate?
- is it possible that my well was running dry? if so, would that affect my neighbors?
- any other ideas?
- any tips on prevention in the future?
