I have a shallow well pump and a sand point that have been working very well for over 10 years now, a changed the sand point once in that time and a few PVBC pipes but thats about all.
This spring I fired up the pump and after an hour or so the hot water tank was full and allw as well pump shut off at 55 psi.
the last 2 weeks I start the pump and it goes great, check valve gets ice cold as it starts pumping and the pump goes up to about 35-40 psi in about 20 minutes..........About the time it hits 50 psi the pump and the check valve start getting hot and the prime appears to be gone. I re-prime the pump and start it again and it continues as before fine until about 50 psi.
The sand point is in about 11 ft of water down 15 ft.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks
