We purchased a home Feb. 2007. We have not had any water pressure problems or pump/well problems. We have a submersible pump. About a month ago I noticed the shut-off valve to the house was leaking really badly and the ground has about 2" standing water. Upon further inspection, I noticed the 'T' that leads to the pressure tank had a hairline crack and was also leaking water. Today, I cut off the whole section 1) after the valve before going to the house, 2) before the 'T' coming from the pump, and 3) after the 'T' going towards the pressure tank and replaced the 'T' and shut-off valve, everything is PVC. I turned the breaker back on to start the system. The pump just continuously runs and never shuts off, but it never builds pressure. Before starting these repairs, I checked with the local hardware store asking if there would be any problems if I shut off power to the system and cut out the leaking parts and replaced with new and was told there should be no problem, the system should come back up fine. Any thoughts, or suggestions? Thanks. Rob
