I had an inspector come check out the well and septic system on a place im looking to buy. He said everything looked good except the well tank was full of water and should only be about half full, thus causing the pump to short cycle. Anyone know anything about wells. He said this can be fixed by draining it down to the correct level. Something about air compresses and and water doesn't, so that's why it was short cycling and going from 30 to 50 psi in about 5 seconds. When they replaced the pump motor they must not have drained the tank down enough. Am I understanding this right? What I dont understand is why did I were money on an inspector vs just having a repair guy look at the well and septic and he could have just fixed it. I'll have to ask my realtor, but is what the inspector saying sound correct?
