It's only 25' down the well but my house sits another 25' or so in elevation from the well. As far as the foot valve is concerned. They put a different foot valve in that has a heavier spring. The pump doesn't turn on as often now. If its not the foot valve I can't explain because that's the...

Thanks to everyone who who have responded. I had the foot valve replaced again and this time it was a little more heavy duty then the last. The pump still kicks on with no water use but its now every 2-1/2 hrs or so instead of 1/2hr. I was told it may be because of the water table level. When...

John, the foot valve was replaced. It's at bottom of of jet body in the well. I'm thinking I have a leak in the piping from the well to house but they said they checked it already by the method I mentioned above. I'm leaning towards pulling the line apart and testing each line separately before...

Hello, I have a deep well jet pump that keeps turning on every 30 minutes even when not using water. The jet body was replaced a year ago and everything was ok until about 2 weeks ago. I've had a plumber here twice already. They replaced my pressure seating foot valve with a spring loaded one...
