1 year ago
*New Pitless connector
*New Pressure tank
*New Pressure switch

Problem: NO WATER...NO PRESSURE

Checked:
Breaker ON (yes)
Power to pump (yes)
Water in well (yes)
Well Pump humming (yes)
Pressure gauge = "0" PSI
Filter cartridge replaced today (yes)

Opened faucet...no water
Pressure switch shows contacts touching.
Manually flicked contractors to check power and got spark on contacts.

Still NO pressure and NO water
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Dit you have pressure before replacing the filter?

No...replacing filter was last option to see of filter was the issue after troubleshooting everything else.

No...replacing the filter was last option to see if filter was possibly the issue after troubleshooting everything else. No pressure or water before and after filter replacement.

Can you check the amps with a clip around amp meter? Might have a broken line, which is max amps. Or, something clogged, which is about half amps.

I believe we've narrowed it down to a Pump failure. Pulling it now. I will report after.

Problem Solved: It was the Pump. Installed new pump and the Well System is back up and running perfectly.

The pump broke away from the hose and was just hanging on by the wires and safety rope. Pump still ran but was 17 years old so I decided to just replace it along with all new torque arrestors, check valve, clamps etc.

Problem solved!

Then it would have been drawing max amps as the pump was fine and the mainline was broken.
