I'm not a septic guy, but I would have to believe the hay was cheaper by far than the fiber fabric. That and I've never heard of anyone using hay in a drain field.

If you don't have a tank or if the tank you can't find is bad (waterlogged) and the motor is turning on/off real fast (because the points in the pressure switch are hammering on/off) you will take...

Me neither. The tank is either waterlogged or it has way too much air in it. If you look at the gauge in the video, (if it's a 100 lb gauge) it's spiking up to where 90 would be on a 100 lb gauge. ...

Its definately a tank problem. If the pressure gauge is reading correctly, spiking up to almost 90 lbs is a bit excessive. (if it's a 100 lb gauge.) If you want to buy a new pump along with that...

That makes it unanimous. It's got to be a leak. If the pump didn't drop way down in pressure, then you may have a blockage, but the pump can't keep up with the sprinklers because some of the water...

Of course they are not available. And nobody seems to know when they might be. And the used ones are more than the new ones.

John has it pegged. Then there was an air release valve on the side of the tank to keep the air level where it needs to be and to keep the air from getting into the plumbing.

I wonder what Manual they are looking in?

The reason the surge is gone is the new tank. It's not waterlogged like your old one must have been.

Well you got a good brand on the tank. And I guess it can't hurt to tape every 3 feet. 21' is what we do. Just keep it taught. The extra check valves were totally unnecessary.
