Old shallow well pump froze and fractured in uncommonly cold weather. Replaced with identical pump. couldn't get prime. Used a new back check valve at pump. Took a long time to get prime back. Finally got gauge pressure up to shutoff (about 60) Seemed to pump up to shutoff at normal rate. Watched for about 1/2 hour and no gauge drop. Initially had fair pressure at faucets but tapered off to small stream. Pump started (38) and built up to shutoff again. Repeated this again. Still very low pressure. Lots of air evacuated in earlier cycles of priming. No air present now. Air tank pressure at 32. No leaks visible now, no bleed off of gauge pressure. Why no pressure at faucets? What am I missing?
Low pressure from new well pump
