Christmas morning I fed the chickens. Right next to the coop is my pressure tank for my well. I noticed that the pressure was low. 26 psi when the pump is set to come on @28.
I felt the pipe and felt the buzzing so the pump is on. Went inside and came out 45 min later and it was up to 40 psi.
Normally it takes 15 min to go from 20 to 44.
So something is wrong. Been watching it and now the most it can get to is 34 psi.
So it could be any number of things. Well dry( I hope not),pump worn out,drop pipe broke etc. Hoping it's not dry as I do not have the funds available to drill a new well or deepen the currant one.
Well guy is supposed to be here tomorrow.
I do have about 1000g stored in a separate tank and a pump to fill my pressure tank if I have to. Once that is gone I have to start hauling water which is a whole nother deal in it's self.
Merry Christmas to me!
