When I turned my well on this spring, everything worked fine for about a week. Then I lost water pressure. Now the pump runs continuosly, does not fill the pressure tank and does not have a pressure reading on the gauge. I have a jet pump and have just replaced the pressure tank thinking it was bad.
Can you point me in the right direction? The pump is very old but still works. I open the valve next to the pump and there seems to be sufficient water pressure right next to the pump - yet there is no reading on the gauge.
I would be happy if you suggested the pump needed replaced. But if it is harder than that, I don't think any additional work is worth it. I only use my well for outside functions like gardening and car washing.
Thanks for your help.
