My water pump won't stop running. I have done some troubleshooting and this is what I have found:
1. The pump has two lines that draw water from my well into my basement, and the pump is drawing water - all the faucets work.
2. The psi on the gauge is around 42-44.
3. There are no leaks anywhere the house (pump keeps running even though I shut the water off to the house)
4. The expansion tank is pressurized and won't accept any more air
5. I shut the electricity off to the pump and left it overnight. Did not use any water overnight, but there was very little pressure in the morning.
So, I think the system just won't reach shut-off pressure. Any thoughts on what the issue might be? It's an old system (pump and tank), but I would rather not replace it all if I don't have to.
