    water well pressure tank not functioning
    After the dramatic ice storms in our area, the water pump from our water well froze and cracked the housing and had to be replaced. After I replaced it with a new one, the pump cycles for about 15 seconds and then cuts off, still no water in the house. The pressure tank that receives the water from the pump appears to be okay, and is holding pressure when checked with a tire gauge. Do I need to refill or drain the pressure tank? Or is there a value that got jacked in the ice storm in the tank also? Thanks for any info...

    Is there a valve between the pump and the tank?

    Not that I can see. The pump is plumbed directly into the tank.
