Hi guys,
Really scratching my head on this one. Yesterday @ 5am I noticed we had no water pressure. I went downstairs and manually reset the pressure switch (one of those with low pressure cutoff) and it came right back on and pumped up. Ran the entire day, multiple showers, etc. with no issues. I checked it again tonight and same thing. Manually reset and all is well. This is really bizarre. I replaced the well pump, pressure tank and switch 1.5years ago and have had no issues with it until now. No air in lines and the only check valve is at the pump. No pitless. Here is the setup:
1. Grundfos 1HP/10gpm SQ set @ 185ft. Static water is usually around 50ft.
2. Well Xtrol 44gallon tank
3. 30/50 Square D switch with low pressure cutoff. Cut in is 35psi and out is ~55psi
4. CSV
Side note, I timed how long it look for the pump to pump up the system from cut in to cut off and it took 5 minutes. Does this sound excessive?
Any ideas?
thanks,
Drew
