I have a galvanized 82 gal pressure tank. Vertically mounted jet pump. Flushed toilet this morning, went to kitchen sink, noticed low pressure on hot and cold faucets. Noticed pump was still running(outside). Went out to pump house, pump was running but not making pressure. Pressure gauge shows 10 psi but I'm not sure how accurate that is. I'm fairly certain the pump had not been running for long. It's pretty easy to hear it "hum" inside the house.
I'm not sure exactly what to check. I don't see any obvious leaks. There is a small drip coming from the Air Control valve on the side of the pressure tank.
I would call a plumber but I've just paid a$624 vet bill for one of my dogs, another has to go next week and have his teeth pulled. That'll be another $225. I'm medically retired and on a fixed income.
I can send pics of the set up.
If anyone can help, please do.
