Rick, Pete mentioned that you should check the pressure in yourpressure tank, this is true but your water system needs to be flat, (pumps off and no pressure in the water system), when you takea pressure reading off the shrader valve on top of the pressure tank. The reading should 30 psi.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Surging house water pumps

What can I do stop my house water pumps from "surging"; runs for a couple of seconds, hesitates a moment, runs for a couple of seconds, etc.? Both pumps are new. One does it worse than the other, depending on the load being put on it. I have tried running all faucets at once for a while. I have tried opening the faucet valve located in the same compartment and draining water from there.
