Leaks on the well pipes

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Noticed a leak (And a reduction in pressure) at the well pipes. (And the above ground pump that pressurizes the bladder to the house).


Although I see the part leaking, before I shut it all down and fix it- What is the purpose of this part?

Looks like a Watts 530C pressure relief valve. If its leaking it will have to be replaced. The seat is probably compromised. I cant tell from the picture if the leaking side of the valve leads to atmosphere for relief or back into the well. It will also explain the loss of pressure.
