  • Answer:

    Don't let that nut scare you. - 'That' hardly ever happens here. You're going to have to elaborate 'a lot' on your question. Eg: Are you getting electric power to the pump?

I have a problem with my well also. Pete Jones answered my question I think he did. I won't know until next week. I tried to e mail him but I got it back. It didn't go to him. I think it is my tank. I think it is water logged. It is a bran new tank. Pete told me i should have 2 LBS.less then the gauge says when the pump starts. I am hoping that is what it is. It is possible that you may hae the same problem. Hope it woks out for you. If Pete reads this i Would hope he e Mails me at wallyman193@ verizon.net

you didnt give much info , it is summer no rain. maybe your well is dry. ( no water) edit ,, so you have water and the pump is running ,,,,,your pump could have been wired wrong and running backwards.pushing the water down instead of up the pipe.
