Tried the bicycle pump deal tonight. Drained all; went to zero. Pumped up. Stopped final pumping at 40 psi. System seemed to flow better with less pulsing but of course air in lines so still hard to tell. Tomorrow's shower will tell for sure. System worked itself back up to resting 56 psi.

Thanks guys. Some good help for a usually city guy just now experiencing pump systems living in the country now. So question: If we go with the guess is the pump is gone, where is the pump actually located? Can I replace that component, or is that down deep in the well and needs a pro to...

Tub faucet is either giving very hot can't stand in it type almost scalding water or very cold icy. No nice warm shower. No happy medium temp. Just had cartridges replaced as it was not fully shutting off (constant drop). That drip is now fixed, but now it won't get mix of water. Seems only...

That might make sense - I'll check that - appears I need to drain & pull cold supply (let me know if that's wrong way to service that). Any thoughts on getting better drain than a trickle?

Need expert plumbing advice please :) I have a 5 year old Richmond/Rheem natural gas 50 gallon hot water heater. It has been performing fine till recently. A few months ago we started running out of hot water during a 2nd person showering. So maybe after 13 - 15 minutes. Then it got...
