I checked the foot valve and cleaned out the algae that was in in. Then, I went ahead and changed it anyway, just in case. It didn't make anything worse, but did not fix the problem.
I love the idea of a well pump but having electricity so close to where people swim makes me nervous. I know people do it, and it would certainly be easier to open in the spring, close in the fall, and eliminate noise. Is my fear of electricity in the water irrational?
