i replaced the foot valve on my sand point well because it was cycling every five minutes. this was after replacing bad pressure tank this summer and can't seem to get the leathers to seal properly. the well is eleven years old in northern wi. there is alot of iron in the water. is it possible there is a buildup on the casing where the leathers seat would it help to shorten the 1" pipe a foot or so? the original leathers were neoprene and only one came up with foot valve and jet there is 40' of pipe now with about 8 ' of water above foot valve with a 1/2 horse wayne jet pump doing the work
