Hope you can help. My well recently started "thumping" real loud. Like someone was banging on the side of the house. Had water this morning and surging water pressure. like a pulse. Pump was starting and stopping instead of steady run. Water stopped flow all together and breaker tripped. Replaced Breaker and now replaced Control Box at well. Capacitor was bad in old control box. Went to turn on power and breaker still tripping immediately.
Bought new tank because I was pretty sure the bladder was bad. Had a freeze last winter and have had problems with pressure since. Told guy at home improvement store that I pressed check valve on pressure tank and water came out. Said bladder was bad in tank.
Haven't installed new tank yet as I am still trying to get power to well.
No go. No juice. Breaker trips immediately.
Attached new control box front cover to old control box seat.
Am going to replace whole control box but was wondering? If my pump went bad would it cause this?
Replaced pump about 3 yrs ago.
88ft of lead pipe about 90 foot in ground.
Lots of red iron. Have Iron Filter.
1 HP pump.
Any ideas before I replace whole pump again?
