I replaced my shallow well jet pump last week because my 10 yr old one finally rusted out. New pump worked great for a week and then all of the sudden, when discharge side is closed off, pressure builds up, pump shuts off, but then a rushing of water from supply side and a vacuum on the discharge side enough to collapse hose and then the pump comes on again, shuts off, same rushing water noise from inside the pump housing, and pump turns on again. Like I said, everything worked perfect for a week, plenty of water volume and pressure when I am irrigating.
Eco Flo 1hp shallow jet well pump from Home Depot. Brass check valve 1.5 ft. from inlet mounted horizontally under ground. No leaks that I can find. everything dry when pressurized. 3 well points 9 ft. apart 20 ft. down in parallel.
Thank you in advance for any help!
