Hi!
Not only am I new to the world of home ownership at the lake, I'm a complete rookie in plumbing, so if people could "dumb down" their responses, I'd appreciate it.
We have a pump, with tank in an indoor area next to the house. The switches are there. We have a line out to the lake.
Our problem is this-the pump was cycling on and off, so we replaced the tank, and it was okay for a while. Now it just won't build pressure at all. It'll go to 49 psi, but won't ever quite reach 50 which is where we have it set to turn off.
Any suggestions as to what I need to look at/for?
And, BTW, what's a "foot valve"?
Told you I was a rookie
