I was down at the well house when the pump kicked on and I noticed a new noise coming from the well head. It was a sucking air noise which was coming from where the wires go down in the casing. I removed the plastic threaded nipple with cap on the other side to see if that did anything and it stopped. Does the well head need an air vent?? the pump was replaced two months ago and until now everything seemed fairly the same although there is a new girggling noise at the well head along with the usual light rattle at the check valve. The drop pipe comes up then 90's to the check then another 90 To the tank all within a foot so I figure there is a bit turbulence here.
