Hi,
I am new to plumbing and well equipment, so I am going to try to explain this as best as I can. We just bought this house, so I am learning all its equipment.
We have a well that pumps water into a 2500 gallon storage tank. We have a 40 gallon pressure tank. We also have a Goulds "Jet Pump". 2 days ago and last night we lost water pressure to the house. It happened both times while my wife was running a hot bath and I was running hot water in the kitchen. I couldnt figure out the problem so I went to the well house. There is a small grey plastic box with 1 nut on it next to the Jet Pump. It has connectors and electrical wiring in it... When I pulled up on one set of those roundish connecters, it made contact with the other set and the jet pump kicked back on and all was fine. This has happened 2 times now though in under a week.
Any idea what the problem could be? Is that switch box bad? Or something else? The pressure tank was just replaced.
Thanks for any and all help.
