So, the first wife wakes me up at 5 AM saying we have no water, I beat er on down to the pump house (shallow well jet pump with bladder tank) and the safety pressure switch had shut off like it should/does when pressure drops to low so the pump dont burn up,,,,,,,,,,,so I pull the lil lever n hold it till she pumps up and thought alls well as she then had plenty of water.
NOTTTTTTT later this mornin were out again so I beat er down there and she had shut off again. Soooooooooo I do some checking and the pump NEVER SHUTS OFF (but was still pumpin n holding decent presure just not enough to trip the switch high pressure shut off) UNLESS AND UNTIL I TURN THE OUTLET VALVE OFF GRRRRRRRRR So the pumps workin but theres a leak somewhere grrrrrrrrrrr and I cant find any leak anywhere in the house or buildings and its been rainin and all the ground is soaked so I cant see any water bubbling up grrrrrrrrrrrr
Okay wonder where in my 75 feet of buried line the leak is grrrrrrrrrrrr Its NOT a pump or tank probem, soon as I shut off the line out of the well house she pumps up to preessure n shuts off but with nothing on anywhere she still runs n pumps feeding the leak SOMEWHERE
Im gonna get mad n run a hose from well house to home n head to Florida after Christmas n fix it next spring grrrrrrrrrrrrrr I called my buddy who works on such things, him n his dad are the ones who spliced in the latest underground pipe some years back, maybe he can find the leak
John T NOT a plumber I DESPISE PLUMBING AND LEAKS ESPECIALLY IF I DONT KNOW WHERE THEY ARE

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener.
