    Deepwell problems
    What causes the water in the pressure tank to rise above the float, even collapsing the float periodically. Needing to be totally drained every 2 months to reestablish proper pressure. Has been this way since newly drilled. Currently running constantly but never above 30 psi . Well is 6 years old. I realize the pump is probably stopped up with rust or motor is too weak to maintain pressure,but if I pull and replace I would like to know how to fix the other problems

    What float are you speaking off? Pressure tanks work off pressure.

    I think I know but tell me anyway.

    Float has a pressure gauge on top and a bleeder valve underneath. It screws into the front about midway up the tank

    What you have is a pressure tank with an AAC (Automatic Air Control) valve.

    Do you know and understand what the AAC valve does?
