Have an issue where my submersible water pump is constantly running.
By constantly I mean that two toilet flushes will set the thing off.
Sometimes I haven't used water for quite a while yet the pressure tank
will start filling up (it's a bladder style: Well X-trol Wx-203). It
seems like I'm always hearing that pump going.
I should mention that before this I had a problem with the water in my upstairs shower shutting completely off. You'd be taking a shower, a nice full steam, and suddenly the pressure would drop to zero, a little dribble at most. After much investigation discovered that the tube that goes to the pressure switch was three-quaters of the way blocked with red crap. Replaced the pressure switch and the pressure gauge and set the thing to kick in at 30 psi and cut out at 50 psi, which it does. However, sometimes right after it cuts out I will loose 5 psi, sometimes 8 psi right off the bat.
Sometimes I notice that the toilets will gurgle long after you flush them and I wonder if that was a clue. It's not a hard and fast rule, just something that happens from time to time.
It seems to me that I have a leak somewhere, but where? How could I trouble-shoot?
