Good morning!!!!

RS - is the bladder suddenly depressurized or has it been doing this for a while, hopefully it will stay pressurized for you.

Not suddenly ... it drifts down over time.

Told the well guy that I try to check it at least once per year, he laughed and said "You're doing better than me ..."

:laughing:

Probably should check it in about a month ... just to see how quickly it's losing pressure.

It's an older Pentair Wellmate WM-9 tank ... one of the ones with the yellowish outside casing. The bladder is replaceable ... but I'm not sure if they are even available at this point.

Did you have to replace the whole pump?

Probably didn't have to ... but I went ahead and replaced both the pump and the motor ...

Chris - sounds like a busy productive day - Walnuts?

The walnut meadow is a small chunk of field that is hard to get to and wet. The farmer stopped farming it and squirrels, I guess, planted black walnuts. Nice stand that somebody 50 years from now will be able to turn into cash if a developer doesn't bulldoze it first.

gosh, I'd better get my long underwear on if I'm moving back there....

just got off phone with another person responding, belatedly, to my apartment wanted ad. He said he couldn't call a month ago since his guest house on his local farm was totally filled
with train sets. Funny how that hobby appeals to folks, he had been President of several colleges, have another good friend with part of his barn taken up by train sets too. I took this fellows contact info down just in case. He stopped renting years ago he was so turned off by problems with tenants. But something in my ad seemed to get his interest. If nothing else, likely made another possible friend.
