Sound like you want 08 to come over and help.

I bet he would like that. He does seem awfully interested in men.

How deep is it? Location?

I have no idea how deep it is. It's in Ascension Parish, if that helps.

Drain by unplugging pump and running faucet still connected to tank, like mdomingue wrote.

Remove all water from the water tank. This means turn off the water pump, open a nearby plumbing fixture, run water until the water stops entirely - your water tank should be empty or close to empty.


But you just wrote that you aren't getting much water out of your faucet, which doesn't point to a tank pressure problem.

You can look it up online (assuming the well is registered)

Pressure switch went bad probably because the bladder in your tank is waterlogged and you lost the pressure setting in your tank. Drain your tank, replace the pressure switch (buy one with the same pressure range as the old one), reset the tank pressure with compressed air (set at 2 psi below the cut-on pressure of the switch) and turn the water back on. This should fix your problem for somewhere around $20.00. The next time you hear the water surging, tend to your tank and it will save the switch.

That's very interesting. I didn't know they have to be registered. Is there some sort of registration number on it or something?

It sounds like you've got a Timmy in there, but I'll have to call up my buddy Lassie who's an expert on that.


Lassie put a lot of pressure on dogs. A lot of decent pooches got their arse whipped trying to live up to her standard.

One time, Grandpa had a heart attack in his pick up truck. Lassie jumped out of the back and drove him to the hospital. Made two left turns ...

Remember how the show started? The whistling? That was Lassie ...

Maybe.

Sometimes they'll have a stainless or aluminum tag on it with all the info on it.


You can look it up here

Check the magnetic pickups on the switch by the pump. Ants like to get in there and that prevents good contact. You may need to use a little sandpaper to clean them up. Also the pressure tank may need to be drained.

That's very cool. Looked up my well. Not sure what the information is good for but it's neat.

How do you select a well to view its info? I found mine but I can't click it.
