Surging house water pumps

Rick, it is usually within 2 feet of the out put of the fresh water tank,
check under the bed area.

Wow, so many responses
already! Thanks all.



Bob, the pumps I put on are the same ones that came off; Shurflos.
So if the wiring worked for the old ones would that mean it would be
adequate for the new ones?



Pete and Wayne, regarding adding an accumulator tank. That sounds
complicated to me. I had previously had one pump that always
worked good and didn't surge. Maybe with two working such is
needed?



Greg, regarding the back flow valve; instead of removing and plugging
lines, would simply shutting a pumps incoming and outgoing valves off
suffice?



Ralph, newby question. Where is the Sporlan located?

it quite yet this morning.)

it sounds like one of the new pumps has a bad backflow valve. remove the
lines from one pumpat a time and plug the ends with a bolts and hose
clamps.

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.
