I noticed the pipes in my well house will start shaking after the well pump turns off. When the pump turns off the pipes will shake for a few minuets. Eventually after maybe 10 minuets it will eventually settle.
I checked the pressure tank and it's at 28PSI. I also checked for leaks and found no significant leak. 2psi drop after 90 minuets and even if I shut off the line to the house I still get the shaking. I tried turning the pump off during the shaking and this has no affect. The only way to stop the shaking is to wait it out or turn the pump back on. I would have already pulled the pump to inspect but the pump is 290 feet down.
I have added a video of the shaking. What is going on here and how do I fix it?
