We have a Wellsaver pressure tank, LPT86 (about 15 years old) and I just installed a new water pump.
The tank fills up and holds the pressure and the pump switches on and off, as it should.
The problem is, there is no pressure from any faucet in the house. Not even enough to fill the toilet tanks.
I have bled the tank several times, adjusted the pressure so the pump kicks on when it should, have repaired all leaks in the house, unhooked all hoses from the outside.
Could there be too much mineral deposits in the bottom of the tank that would prevent the water from being forced to the rest of the house? I've read that calcium deposits can clog the output lines of the tank and slow down the water. Is there any way to determine this is the problem? The pipes are all corroded if that is an indication.
Thanks in advanced for any advice!
