I understand that there has to be a check valve somewhere, but I don't know where, it doesn't appear to be prior to the pump unless it is down in the well itself. And I have no way of getting to that. Is it possible there is one in the wet end of the pump as there doesn't appear to be one externally. I don't want to replace the pump unnecessarily, if it is something I can fix. Again as I said any help is greatly appreciated.
What ever is wrong may have gone now as it only retained the prime for one night this time.
I'm thinking that the check valve may be down at the end of the intake line because in order to prime the pump I have to feed water into the outlet faucet for about 10 minutes before it will start moving water. And if that is the case I'm think I'm going to have to call someone to fix it for me. Which I really don't want to do but don't see any alternative.
Again Thanks for any and all comments or help.
