I have a jet pump with one inlet and outlet(Shallow well). I'm not a plumber but I know my problem. The water is leaking back into my well. after the water is pumped in, the pump shuts off and like a couple of minutes later the pump turns on. I know my check valve is leaking but the well is so old that is seams easier to just put another check valve in between the well and the pump. Can i do this? I know my pressure tank is holding the water fine because I have a valve in between the pump and the tank. When the tank fills up I shutoff the valve. Water stays in there fine. The problem is that I'm now the check valve where I manually turn on the pump to fill the tank up(man is it getting annoying). Please advise. thanks in advance Damon
