Surging house water pumps

[gregory O]

Yes Rick. that would be the way to go. turn of the water to one pump at a time
but you may need to also disable the electric on that pump because it may start
up when the pressures equal out past a bad check/backflow valve.

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.
