How do you tell if your water tank is water logged and what are the symptoms of the water well pump if this oc

Answer 1

When the pump system is water logged, you have lost the capacity in the tank itself. One way to check it is look for a "water line" on the tank if it is a metal tank. If the ater is cold enough, you will see condensation form at the level of the water. If it is a fiberglass tank, let the pump pump up to pressure and shut off. Make sure nothing is using water in the house or building. Get a 5 gallon bucket and put it under a faucet and open the faucet. Count the gallons it takes before the pump comes back on. If the pump comes on immediately, the system is definitely water logged. Most tanks have a 5 to 20 gallon drawn down gallons, or the gallons that it puts out before the pump comes back on. To "un-water log" the tank, drain the tank down all the way and fill it back up. The pump should add air to the tank as it pumps. The is also some kind of air volumn control either on the tank or in the well piping. Make sure it is working properly and letting air out or adding air, depending on the style of control. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Answer 3

Waterlogged Pressure Tank

Answer 4

won't really affect the pump. If it is water logged, you will lose water pressure. Most water tanks have tire valve on the top. If yours does, just add air from a compressor.

Answer 5

If it's water-logged then the pump flitters on and off like the ticking of a watch.
