Right, there is no bladder in the tank so I fill it with air when need be. I filled it this spring and everything was working great until Friday. The pressure drops fast with no spigot open so I am thinking that horizontal check valve failed open. All of my lines appear to be cast iron or more likely galvanized steel. I do not see a union either, otherwise changing that check valve would be pretty easy. It would be nice to get a small tank with a bladder and get rid of the huge holding tank too.
Just out of curiousity how much does the average pump and riser pipe weigh? I know that is dependent on the depth but just an average. Do you need a machine to lift it out or can a couple guys do it?
