- 7Water spitting out of pump vent pipeWater spits directly out of the top of the white PVC vent pipe and secondary drain line every single time the pump runs. This continuous spilling or dripping is tied to the unit's operation, stopping immediately when the fan is turned off.
- 2Why does my hot water stop when the sprinklers run?Running an in-ground irrigation system can cause a massive pressure drop throughout the house, which temporarily halts hot water flow at faucets and showers until the sprinklers turn off. This sudden loss of pressure prevents normal water usage entirely during watering cycles and leaves homeowners wondering if they simply have to live with the issue.
- 2Why won't my well pump shut off when it reaches pressure?When a well pump fails to shut off after reaching target pressure, trying to adjust the pressure switch usually doesn't fix the problem. The underlying cause is often a faulty check valve or a small suction line leak pulling air into the system. This prevents the system from stabilizing, leaving the pump running continuously.
- 2Why won't my new shower and water pump turn off?When the main water line is turned on, the shower has no way to turn off and the water pump runs continuously without building enough pressure to shut off automatically. This leaves people unable to control water flow or stop the pump without manually cutting power at the breaker.
