Built my house 08-09.
Existing well and pump, assumed last used before '92.
Before building, had prominent local well guy out to test it. Ran and was chloroform free, so we used it.
He estimates it probably 160' deep. It has sanitary cap.
I installed a WellXTrol WX 203 (~32 gal). DOM 03/09.
Installed GE 4x10 house filter and use 25-30 micron carbon filter. No conditioning equipment.
After I change my filter I get air in my lines, but that is not a problem. It eventually goes away. (I mentioned this as a matter of reference to help describe what my problem is).
Here is my problem. Recently when I open a tap, I get that same "air in the lines" pulsation for short period of time and then it goes away. It is very prevalent in a toilet tank fill, Because that is a short duration open "tap".
I suspected that I might have a problem with either my pump or my well, so I connected a hose at the upstream side of the tank tee and ran the water. The water flowed with pressure and uninterrupted for the half hour that I did that.
I definitely have a problem, but do not know where to continue my troubleshooting.
