RobU Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 1 hour ago, wwest5829 said: That was my first thought. I think you may have nailed the problem since there is no leak. I had a similar problem water main burst in the village all the water from my tank drained into the village system even though the stop cock was closed. Faulty stop cock which wasn't a apparent when the village water supply was at normal pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldestswinger Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I had a similar problem. It was eventually traced to a break in a pipe where it came through a wall of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the water pump runs the same as always. Not so often. Then the leak is between the tank and the pump..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supply side adds water up high, close to the top of the water tank so even if it was draining back it could only go down a little bit. Now it goes down to almost empty. Check your toilets, it could be running down through the septic tank and out to the street drains, and your water bill should be high if its leaking away, call a water pump guy to have a look, very cheap but be weary of the septic tank guys, they will try you on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
