I'm using a shalow well pump to pump from the river 100'. The pump pulls 11' high and has fair water pressure, however, I'm getting air from somewhere and loosing pressure. I'm using a sandtip point submerged in the river with a chack valve. I have one splice at 50' with four clamps. I tee'd of at the pump using the tee to fill the line and prime. Tefflon tape on all threads and double clamped at the 2" poly pipe barb. My question is, how do I trouble shoot the air problem? How can I tell if it's the connections or if it's coming from the pump? I don't really want to buy another pump if this one's good. Any suggestions??
