I replaced a waterlog flotex bladder tank. My fairly new pump takes to long (15-20min) to fill the 82 gal equiv. tank. Pump gets hot before it shuts off. Tank is charged at 28psi and pump starts at 30 and shuts off at 50. No prob. with that.
Problem is it takes to long to fill tank. Is my screen plugged in my shallow well? Could I also have a leak on suction side of pump? My pressure maintains nicely on pump, so I think the checkvalve is working ok.
My next step was to try to use some chemical treatments or is there another way to shock the screen without pulling the well, to possibley open up the screen? Shooting down the well, is that advisable? Thanks for any comments, kdwy
