Replacing well air release valve.AVC’s

But if you see water leaking out of the AVC, that means it needs a repair or more likely, replacement. What happens if one of the components in the air charging/air release system stops working?
There are a number of things that can going wrong with a bleeder, check valve, snifter valve, and air volume control system.
All of these components must work perfectly to maintain the correct air volume in the tank. If either the bleeder orifice, above ground check valve, or the snifter valve are not working, the tank will become "waterlogged" and the pump will cycle on and off very rapidly.
You should hear hissing sounds for a short period of time when the pump starts. Hissing air at the air volume control means that the control is releasing excess air from inside of the pressure tank. You should be concerned when you do not hear the air hissing noise. Usually, the check valve stops holding properly, leaking back and pressurizing the drop pipe. The bleeder in the well then cannot open to drain the pipe to re-charge with air for the next injection on pump start up in the next pumping cycle. If this happens then you won't hear air coming into the tank, and soon your tank will become waterlogged, and the pump starts cycling on and off too often.
Rapid repeated cycling due to a waterlogged tank will damage and ultimately cause your pump to fail.

Thank you very much. I enjoy telling a story on things that can go wrong living on a Homestead and how to solve your problems without spending a lot of money.
