Question:

water pump is constantly priming itself?

Our watrer pump on our well will constantly prime itself when we use the water in our house.As you are running the tap the water will gain pressure on and off like someone is using another tap in the house. Any suggestions?THanks in advacne

Answer:

How old is the Pump ? Could the Impeller be worn out ? Is there a replaceable filter ? Could it possibly be stopped up ? Are there any leaks in the pipe leading from the well ? Is there a way that you could measure the current being drawn by the pump, with an Amp Meter, to determine if it's pulling more Current than it should be ? Until these questions are answered, it's probably just going to be a guessing game.
