Greetings everyone from Eastern Long Island, NY.
Last night I noticed my well pump cycling (1 HP Sta-Rite Signature 2000 Series submersible pump,4" well appox. 40 feet total depth).
I shut off the valve on the house side of the pressure tank and the pump kept cycling.
Pressure tank was recently replaced, btw.
I shut the main breaker off and went to bed.
This morning I back pressured the line to the well with about 5 Psi of compressed air.
Took the cap off the well head and saw bubbles in the water in the well casing.
Is this a sign of a bad check valve or a pump problem ? I did not notice a check valve below the pitless adaptor and ground water level.
There is about 6 feet to ground water.
After bleeding the line of the air the pump is pumping but cycling again as it did last night.
Any thoughts or insight on what my problem may be ?
Thanks in advance.
