Ok
the never ending well pump repair job has grown ever more interesting
I now have good water pressure but am finding lots of bursts from air bubbles in my lines when I run the water. I can hear it in the hot water tank, washing machine, or when I run water at a faucet.
The new pump works, it comes on at 40 PSI and shuts off at 60 PSI. Its attached to a pressure tank and the pipes have been soldered. The inlet pipe from the well head is a plastic PVC union that I can open in order to prime the inlet pipe to the pump, this is a part I am wondering about.
I suspect air is getting in the line and want to know where i should be looking for how it is getting In? I am guessing the only place air can be ingested is at the inlet side of the pump? To me thats the lowest pressure side, and otherwise all other parts of the pipe system are full of water, therefore air would not be coming in.
Should I be looking for air leaks at my lnlet pipe? or somewhere else?
thanks
Jon
