    Hi Louise,

    Sorry to wait until morning to answer. Please explain, "THe pressure gage will not turn off". Are you referring to the pump control box that won't shut the pump down? Have you adjusted the bladder tank to your system yet? When you say,"the tank keeps running" do you mean the pump won't stop, or the tank won't stop leaking? Please give us more details and if we need to get together on terms so we can understand one another let's do it now.
    Back to you. Tom

I recently had my well pump replaced. Ever since, the pump kicks in after a gallon or two of water use. I called the well pump installer immediately when we noticed the problem (which did not exist until he came out to replace the pump), but he won't show up to check it out. Kidnapping him and...
