I've got a well that is 60 years old or so. Don't really know exactly where it is but know within 10' or so. It's suppose to be 150' deep and I use a shallow well pump. Pump is 20+ years old. Pressure setting is 30-50 psi.
When I run it a long time with the garden hose the pressure drops down to 20 psi and I start getting air. I figure the air is from cavitation within the pump?
I assume it has a foot check valve and screen on the bottom. And I'm thinking that is clogged.
What can I do?
