Hello all.
Long time reader, first time poster : )
Having problems with my well system and I came up empty on searches.
Problem: Sometimes I run out of water. Seems the pump cannot keep up with demand. I thought maybe a bad check valve but I do not lose pressure. The pressure tank could be an issue I guess. Or is the pump on the way out.? I know I have a high lime content in my water. Could the valve be clogged? Could the pump fins be caked up?
FWIW the setup is line in from outside, to check valve, to pump, to tank to house.
Any suggestions on where to start? I know it takes a good 20 minutes to refill & the pump to kick off when it does kick on. When it does start I do hear a decent "clunk"
Thanks for any help. Hoping to solve this issue.
