Excess calcium, magnesium and iron will cause hard water. Hard water can leave a thick scale film in the bathtub and on shower walls. It can also stiffen laundry and spot your glassware as it dries. If your hair feels sticky or looks dull after washing it, it is probably due to hard water. Signs Your Well May Be Leaking Leaks in water well casings can be caused by a variety of things including corrosion, pressure from stones or other objects pressing against the casing, splits at a welded or defective casing seam, even a lightning strike or nearby construction site that may be blasting. I de-energized the well pump and shut all valves to see if the pressure in the pipe between well and tank dropped. It did not decrease over a period of about 4 hours, staying at 28 PSI. I also drained the tank and system completely to depressurize the pipe as much as possible and noticed no change in the dripping sound at the well casing top. Pressurize the well pipe by turning the breaker to the well back on. It should hold the pressure for longer than an hour without cycling. If the pressure holds, your pipe and check-valve are not the problem. Check for leaks between the well and the house. If the pressure doesn't hold, the leak is in the well.
