I left my garden hose from my well filling my new septic-tanks for the pump test. I needed to do this for the county inspector. My neighbor offered to shut the water off when one of the tanks(the one with the pump) reached 3/4 full(approx. 900 gals.) I left and he forgot so when I returned 2 days later both tanks were overflowing and the well pump was still running. Since then the pressure tank gauge in the well house never goes over
40 lbs. of pressure. It use to go up to 60 lbs. and then back down to
40 lbs. when water was running, then build up to 60 lbs. again when the water was not being used. The water pressure at the hose seems to be about the same as before this happened. Is it possible that the gauge or something else went haywire when that greater-than-usual demand was placed on the well? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Jack
