Oh my goodness Im about to shoot my DH. Ok here is the NEW problem for those of you who remember the last one. Which was fixed, thanks to Agmantoo.
When the water is turned on in the house the pump cycles on and off to deliver the water, causing the water to spurt. When the water in the house is turned off, the pressure builds back up to set amount then clicks off at which point the pressure drops down to about 4-5 pounds shy of clicking on again. Now here is the part that TOTALLY confused me....when you turn on the water hose outside just slightly it will do it BUT if you turn the water hose all the way open it does not have any of these problems. Further more if you turn the power off to the pump and turn on the spiket next to the pump it only has about 5 gallons of water at most come out before its empty. Which seems to mean thats the only amount of water in the tank????
Give you some info on our system, we have standard tank shallow well water jet system. The pump, foot valve and check valve are all new, were replaced about 3 months ago when we had the first problem. It has worked like a charm since the fix.
Any ideas? Any direction you can send us in before I dig a hole not for water but for my DH's grave LOL
Thanks!
