Hello all,
I have lived in a country home in Western North Carolina for the last 16 years. I am originally from New Jersey where everything was City Water. Anyway, What I have here is a deep well ( Not sure the depth- 200 plus feet) and a Sears multi staged jet pump offset from the well in the basement with about a 15 feet run of line from the pump to the well. We are running a captive air tank as well. here's the catch. We are on a shared well with my neighbor having water rights, the well is on my land. The pump regularly loses prime ( probably 6-10 times a year) and most often during weekend usage ( with everyone home) Is there a way I can get around this? Perhaps a larger captive air tank?
Help me please!
Lew
