Okay..when we turn on our water the pump would automically start running and then no more water it stop..So called my hubby and he got a new pump..now no pressure and filled it with so much water it could feed our country.. the pressure couldnt get above 20..So we went out and pulled the well everthing seems to be fine there..
Any experts that maybe could tell us what is wrong..
Cant really afford a plumber becos of dishing money out to the governement for immagration..
Oh geez Joanne, it's been over 20yrs. since I've had to deal with a well and a pump! I don't even remember the "joyous" problems and remedies that we encountered.......
Here's hoping your problem gets solved sooner, rather than later.

a friend of mine used to have problems with frogs or other beasties getting into the pipes - it could be something along those lines - maybe a build up of silt somewhere before the filters.....

Same here-been at least 17 yrs since I last had to deal with that.. but I remember well what it was like to be without water when we had problems..
ok I'll try. First, is it a shallow well or a deep well? Where is the pump, in the well or above ground? do you have a tank with an air fitting on the side like you put air in a tire? does the pump go on & off rapidly? Answer these questions and we'll go from there.
Joanne, just wanted to pop on and say hello, and send my prayers that you and Eric get this fixed soon and without too much expense. Sorry I can't help, but whenever I've lived where there was a well and pump, it was either with my parents and dad dealt with it...and I don't even remember us having any problems with them in all of the years we lived with wells and septics.
