There is a burning metal smell in my pump room. Like when the brakes on a truck get too hot. The pump seems to be running fine but I'm wondering if this is a sign the pump is about to give out? I'm not 100% sure it's the source of the smell but it's the only thing I can think of.
Is there any sort of pump maintenance I'm supposed to be doing?
It's at least 12 years old.
Edited to add, if I have to replace the pump, should I pre-emptively replace the pressure tank too? I believe they are the same age. It's working fine, but if I'm going to hire somebody to replace one should I just replace both?
