I'm waiting for the well tech to get here. Check this out: I opened the center storage/aeration tank and noticed that the water in the center tank was very hot and the pump was running continuously. Looks like that's my problem. I couldn't believe the well company gave me a hard time and wanted to charge me for a service call when I told them about that. Obviously there is something wrong with their repair, the pump, etc. The pump running nonstop is heating the water and thus everything that comes into the house is hot.

I'm hoping it's the wrong size pump or defective, can be changed out, and my problem solved. I'll let you know. I know for one thing, this is the last time I deal with this company unless it's a warranty issue like this one. They tried to tell me the water simply gets very hot from being in the tank in Florida? Yeah right! I've been here five years and the water in a shaded metal tank would never get so hot that you couldn't shower with it. When a company says something stupid like that you lose all faith and respect for them. I guess they don't want to stand behind their work. No more mr nice guy. We'll see...

That could be but the motor would have to be extremely hot for that to be the source of the heat. I of course, can't see the piping and don't know how this this works or is suppose to work but I bet its is hooked up backwards and is some how creating a low pressure (relative to the hot water line on the water heated) and pulling hot water in.

Stand your ground with the well company. "It didn't happen before and you are the only one that has worked on it. "You touched it you own it". And "You screw it up, you come fix it". Would be my position.

Hopefully it will be resolved with out any more hassle.

I think you have found your problem. The pump in the aeration tank, which I am assuming is there to filter for iron, is running non stop and heating the water in that tank. Did you ever feel of the pressure tank to see if it felt warm??

Of course, it might be that the pump in that tank is supposed to run 24/7. Not real familiar with that type of system, but the water should not leave warm.

Do let us know how this all turns out.
