I'm trying to understand the failure mode so that I can prevent it again.
The picture shows the discharge port of my jet pump. In the picture, there is a nylon tee and nipple but when it failed, it was a PVC tee and nipple.
For some reason, the entire tee assembly popped out of the pump, spraying whatever water was left in the pressure tank inside the pump room. The pressure switch did not have a low pressure shut-off so the pump kept on working. Don't know for how long but it was still...
