The energy budget didn't allow for malfunctioning equipment, and it takes a heck of a lot of energy to re-fill a long standing pipe.<br /><br />Is it possible that the cistern is going dry because more people are using more water? Check the check valve to find out.<br /><br />When you start the well pump after it's been shut down a few hours, water should start flowing right away. If not, the check valve is leaking. It's clear at the bottom of the well, a real PITA to fix, but you need it to work.<br /><br />-SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
