Shallow-well Pump Issues.
Hello.
I will try to describe our problem as best I can:
Yesterday we ran our well dry and didn't realize there was no water coming out of the hose for maybe an hour? All this time the pump was running. The well is now full of water. We checked the foot valve on the bottom of the water intake pipe and all seems OK. We can't seem to get it up to pressure (sits at about 25psi). We've tried it a few times letting the pump run for 10-15 minutes or so, water out of the taps is slightly sputtery. The pump has yet to shut off on its own. Could the bladder in the pressure tank have ruptured from the continuously running pump? Or is the problem the pump itself?
Thanks. Beth
