I recently have replaced my deep well two line jet pump and tank. The old bladderless tank had been leaking anyway and came home to find the pump had been running all day. Thought it was a good idea to replace the pump also after this.
So now after doing the leak down test on the system...bladder tank set at 28psi...assuming pressure switch set 30/40 from factory, we have to turn pump on and off at the breaker box or the pump will run on. Then it never gets above 32psi.
What I think is happening is the water is not getting returned to the well and all the pump is doing is pulling.
Where do I go from here? Am I out of the DIY and need a pro now? (The Wife is starting to blame me for the issue now)
