The gas in on... that's where it stops. Everything works in order up until that point. There isn't a wiring diagram on the inside but I did find one online that matches mine. You can see in diagram #2 my M1 is yellow, not blue. Those are the ones I thought I might of mis-wired but it...

FWIW: It was working fine (other than the relay issue) right before the control board swap.

OK. Maybe I shouldn't have attempted this on my own but here we are. Goodman GMP075-3 (Rev. A) apparently had a bad relay. The inducer motor would not turn on unless I tapped on the relay. Sooooo.....I tempted fate & bought a used one on Ebay (probably bad idea) Anyways. I replaced the...

Thanks everyone. I have the day off so I can verify the pressure in my tank. I might have mentioned my well is only 2 inch shallow. When I say "10 seconds" its usually when I'm at the kitchen with the faucet on...when I hear the pump kick on it's usually very quick to turn off. The pump is...

Quick question: There is an 86 gallon pressure tank available nearby. It's one from Lowes (AO Smith?) I asked him and it is 8 years old but the last 5 he was on city water & it was used very sparingly to water his lawn (so he says) New they are $370, he is asking $125 (and wont budge)...

Don't you hate people that don't follow up? :) Anyways. I want to thank everyone for their help. I successfully NuWelled the system. New (used) pump installed and with the help from my little local hardware store I managed to easily reprime the well & the pump with a pitcher pump. It's...

That's was my main concern. What happens when it freezes. Maybe I shouldn't mess around with what works and get the free workout

Thanks everyone. Getting the NuWell tabs in today. Will let it work overnight & keep adding water to it during the day. Luckily I have a neighbor a few houses down I can steal water from :) :) I had a question in the meantime. Can I extend the well above the ground here and leave the hose...

OK. The pump definitely works. It sucked up a 1/2 gallon in a second. I know they took the foot valve off because it was clogged last time. Did they install a screen over the end of the pipe? I don't know :)

Thanks. It was working ok before I changed the pump out . It was just slow to fill. Should I be closing the valves to the tank and house while priming? I left them open and a faucet on a bit. It was spitting a little bit of water but the line seemed dry when I took it off the suction...

OK. I'm back. With new problems. If you read above the problem I was having. So I purchased & installed a used shallow well pump. Before installing I verified the check valve was functioning properly. I have no foot valve so whatever water was in the line surely dropped during...

Thanks. I was able to google & see exactly what was going on in there. So...if it was set up with a shallow jet nozzle.... would it be safe to say a normal shallow pump would suffice should I want to replace it? The pump does work, just runs a long time before it fills up the pressure...

I don't have any type of plug like that on mine. Seems I have a deep well pump with the 2 connections but there is a 2 into 1 piece making it a single. Attached is the picture of what I mean. This came off my old pump but the current is the same. Is that nozzle in there the jet? I would...

No air in the water. I get a nice steady stream. Even when the bladder tank is low & the well is pumping in the water. I would need instruction on what exactly I should be cleaning. (the jet) Yes. My well is 2 inches. The incoming pipe is also 2 (I guess) It is connected at the top of the...

Sorry for the delayed response as I forgot I had posted, but still having same issue. It is set for 30/50. It does turn on & off without issues. I checked my pressure tank yesterday & it was a little low so I refilled to 28. It doesn't lose pressure so I assume check valve (right before...
