We have been losing pressure in our piping, upstream of the pressure tank. I isolated the house and it holds.
So I had suspected a leaking check valve down by the pump. Had the pump pulled and replaced. Initial pressure test showed it was a success, it held. Fast-forward a couple days and I notice the pump running again without us using any water.
At this point I took the cap off of the well and put my ear to it. I can hear water flowing, hissing...like a valve cracked open, but do not see any signs of leaking around the pitless adapter.
My thought now is, that it's leaking outside of the well casing at the pitless adapter.
Thoughts?
Should note...my house is built on a slab. I do not notice any puddling. Pump would cycle approximately ever 40 minutes. Have two 20 gal water-trol tanks. Pressure switch set at 40/60.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
