My shallow well jet pump will operate fine all day long while in use.
After it sits overnight it loses its prime and will not pump.
I have a check valve on the supply side just before the pump, its working properly.
I don't know if there is a foot valve in the well or not. Just bought the house a year ago.
There is only 2' of suction line exposed in the basement.
Question:
Should there be the same pressure reading on the supply line before the check valve as there is on the gauge on the pump?
Thank you.
