Weird well system behavior

[Radu Gafitanu]

Yes Shane, this makes sense. I will have to watch it because it looks it’s not just unscrewing, I will need to cut and solder in order to replace the valve.

You rejected using a Sharkbite repair coupling?

No, I’ll have to use the shark bite. I’ll cut the 1” to the right of the valve and unscrew the valve from the left. I’ll get a 1”shark bite to 3/4 or whatever is the valve and a new valve. The Kinetico filtration cycle creates the same problem. Kinetico started, pressure dropped from 60 to 40 in about 2 minutes. When the switch cut in the pressure dropped to 20 in 2 seconds and the hissing started again. I’ll let the Kinetico do its stuff and see if the pressure comes back when it’s done. Or force the cycle to stop.

Shane, you were right. The check valve poppet was broken in two. Now everything is back to normal. Thank you to all the members that helped.
