I need to clarify my first post. I've noticed the pump coming on during the night, when I don't believe anyone is using water. The pump is in the basement under our master bedroom. It does not appear to be a short cycle, the pump comes on and seems to run for the normal amount of time that is does when you run water long eough to drop the pressure and water in the holding tank. I would say it comes on maybe 2 or 3 times in an 8 hour period unless someone flushes the toilet and even a flush of the toilet dosen't always trigger it to come on. I tapped the bottom and the top of the pressure tank and tere is a different tone difference. The bottom sounds as if it is full and the top of the tank tends to have a hollow sound to it. I did notice the the cut out pressure maybe 5 pounds low at 45 psi on the guage. This is a 13 gallon tank. I'm thinking of replacing it in the near future with a 20 gallon tank. Only my wife and I live in the house. The ghould vs10 pump sits right on top of the horizontal pipe coming from the well. From the pump there is a "T" one side of the "T" is connected to the pump, one other side is connected to the pressure thank and the third side has a shut off valve on it and supplies the plumbing system. I have not noticed any leaks in te piping inside the house. We do have hard water and some sand does make it into the plumbing system. I looked at the stand pipe outside, mainly becasuse we believe the area around it, flowers, small fensing and solar lights was run over by a delivery truck. I did notice what appears to be a little paint transfer on the stand pipe. I placed a level on 4 side of the stand pipe and did notice that in one direction, it was not at a true ninety degrees. It was just a bit of, but I don't know if it was this way before or not. Not beng a plimber or well type guy, was rasied in the city, I just want to make sure I'm not over lookibng any thing or over reacting.
