We installed a 1 1\4 shallow well and is down about 18 feet. We ran a tape measure down the pipe and have about 5 to 6 feet of water in the pipe. We installed a picture pump and we have cold clean water.
However, we now installed a 3\4 horse pump and blatter tank to run the well for a while before winter and to see how it would pump. We ran a elbow and valve to our pump primed it and it started pumping water, but it pumps like it is pulsating. It pumps a lot of water and then its like it takes a breath and then pumps a little water, then a lot of water, then a little water...It will pump about 1 gal a min.
Any ideas would be helpfull.. Thanks
