Author: rick anderson (MI)

i have read all previous replies,like everyone else my pvc pipes are well anchored with about 9 ft. of head . it has rubber coupling check at top of pit. the problem seems to be head pressure slamming check closed. what if i put another check up 5 ft. and run it as a 2 check system. i am in the wet season on high water table ,pump cycles every 5 mins. whats worst about my question is i am very knowable about piping and can't figure this out. rick
