Hi Everyone. We started getting a little bit of air coming out of the faucets a few days ago, particularly in the morning. Now for the past few days when we are using water for an extended period of time (showers, laundry) the water will completely stop and then start back up after anywhere from 10-45 seconds. We also still have some occasional air in the system too.
We have a submersible well pump and a tank with a bladder. The well and pump are from 2006. I initially thought the Square D pressure switch was shot or clogged but it seems to be functioning. I cleaned the contacts and the pump is getting 220-240 volts. The switch will close the contacts and call for water but the pump seems to work intermittently. There may be a swoosh of water coming to the tank for a minute or so and then it will stop even with the pressure switch still calling for water. Then a minute or so later the pump will send more water and so on.
We are in CT and have had extra cold weather for the past week or two. Down to the single digits at night or even below 0. Not sure if this has anything to do with it since the pump and plumbing should be pretty deep underground. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank You
