    Airbubbles in well water line
    I have a hand driven well 1 1/2 steel tip about 22ft deep hook to small tank and jet pump. When I went to use it this season I noted the water pressure has dropped and when I put the water hose in my pool to fill I get air bubbles coming out of it constantly. I have pulled pump and all fitting apart and resealed them before reinstall. Water pressures a little better but still not right and the same amount of air bubbles? Please Help!! Out of ideas!!

    Thank you,
    Mark

    You may have an insufficient supply of water from this well. If you leave it off for awhile and turh the water on do you get bubbles immediately?

    Your pump sounds like it's it's sucking air. This can be caused by a lowered water table or a break in the suction line. Try Balllengerbs advice and get back with the results. Good luck, Tom

    I did and it seemed like more came out the frist few then it went back to a steady streem.
