Your "former new theory" is kind of what I'm thinking but I can't find much (really any) information relevant to it. Is that a common thing? If so, is it as simple as the cap and nipple were buried (no idea why) and corroded through. The timing was coincidence or maybe I overlooked water there...

I really appreciate all the feedback. I'm definitely going to have to dig deeper and take a better picture. But to respond to some of your guys insight - I dont believe it's electrical (I'm referring to the OEM 1" endcap/pipe). My irrigation tap off is right after my pressure tank in the...

You think that endcap/piping is an above ground check valve? I was thinking it was some type of vent line? I read some pumps have them to prevent vacuums. If that's the case, what happened and what's the solution? Is it as simple as threading the nipple/endcap out and going to my plumbing supply...

I appreciate the response. I didn't mean the pump is air bound, I meant somewhere along the line near my pressure tank/switch. I apologize for the convulsion, I'm spitballing everything I can think of that may be relevant to my issue. I'm fairly certain that leaking pipe is my culpret tho. The...
