Hi I live in rural Montana and obviously have well. It is 225' down and a sub. pump. I have 3 yard hydrants in my yard that were all working fine 2 nights ago.
I went out to water the horses last night and no water at all at yard hydrant. Opened it, nothing...
Went to other yard hydrants and they were all the same... no pressure, water, nothing...
Inside the house I have heard the pump come on and go off accordingly and have a very minimal decrease in pressure inside. Other then that nothing. (PS I could be wrong, my wife says NO change in water pressure inside, which I guess could be true since we have a pressure tank, not sure, seems like it is a bit less forceful when fully opened then usual to me...)
WTH could be wrong?
I have walked the water line for the yard hydrants and have found no sink holes, mud holes, etc... Nothing. Granted the ground is frozen now, I would assume I would still see some sort of sign of a major leak like this.
With that said... Why wouldn't i have ANY water pressure at the yard hydrant even with a leak?
Is my sub. pump going bad?
Where do I start? I cant afford to have a well pump guy out and it not be that and he charge me an arm and a leg for a visit. And vice versa for renting a back hoe and digging up my yard looking for a leak.
HELP, IDEAS NEEDED!!!!
