The pipe humming noise started about 2 months ago. I have a private well with a submersible pump. The pressure switch range is 40-60psi. I noticed the switch actually stops at 62. Then the pressure drops and stabilizes at 60. The humming noise starts at high pressure and continues even when the switch shuts off.
The pump does not always triggers the noise. It usually happens in the morning at the first pump and the noise can last more than 1 minute. The following occurrences have shorten period, lasting a few seconds.
Is the water pressure the only one to blame? I adjusted the switch range to 37 - 57 but it did not help. Can the pump itself contribute to the triggering? Is it a symptom the pump is reaching its EOL? The pump is 12 years old.
What can I do to stop the noise? Thanks!
