bump...................

Forgive me for asking a dumb question. :confused: But is the screen on the pump, or the casing? Is it easily cleaned or replaced? Is this a job for a pro?

What could cause this all of a sudden?

I have an 85' well with a 1/2hp submersible about 14 years old. Static water level about 25'. It has been great for doing my irrigation and domestic until this year. Now, it works good for my domestic water needs but when I use it for irrigation I suddenly have a problem. When it starts it...
