Greetings
. I’ve been reading/trying all the suggestions, but I haven’t quite figured out my issue.
We lost water one morning—got it back with a prime. It stayed for several weeks. Then went out again. Got it back. Kept happening.
It had gotten to the point where a shower or running laundry makes it go out. It’s usually out by morning. It will hit the 30psi cut on, start running—but never come back up. Will find it at 0 psi running.
We have a jet pump, about 50ft lines. Had a 20(?) gallon pressure tank. We’ve replaced both the pump and its switch. And we replaced the pressure tank with a bigger one. We’ve checked as many of the lines as we can. Our house is from 1910, so some of the lines are in areas we can’t get to. We had a tub faucet leak—but we’ve resolved that.
Now when it goes out; it can’t be primed right back. It has to sit for 5+ hours to get it back. We’ve considered low water table, but there has been no issues with any of my well neighbors.
We’re at our wits, and pricing out city water being run.
Any suggestions of things we can check/try would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
