Hi everyone, I woke up this morning put on a load of laundry went into my kitchen to rinse a few dishes and WHAM....the water stopped. So I checked my washing machine and there was no water coming out of there either. So I turned it off....checked the breakers...everything is fine. The water in the machine does have alot of rust color in it....alot more then normal....I have alot of iron in my water....but never this much.
So I looked at my pressure tank and the guage was less then 10 PSI...I have a Well-X-trol pressure tank. I have a 150 foot drilled well with a red jacket pump. I can hear the pressure tank go on, but it has taken over an hour to get it up and it is only at 34 PSI.
Is there anyone who can help me figure out what the problem is. I have lived in this house going on 6 years and never had a problem with water. I have never run out of water so I am hoping it isn't my well.
I don't know how old the pressure tank and pump is either....but the house itself is around 25years old.
Thanks to all those who can help.
Ellen
