My well is about 4 yrs old. My controller box keeps shutting off. I have to reset it often sometimes several times a day. I have had the well guy check it and we replaced it twice now. The pressure goes low then just shuts off. I go downstairs reset the buttom then the water and pressure is fine. I was told they may have to pull the pump and check it (all day job they said). My well is 700 ft. A lot of times it happens when were in the shower but really happens any part of the day. When I push the reset buttom it sometimes clicks several times. We do have quite a bit of sediment in the water so I filter it and have a water softner too. The water is excellent. At first the controller was running to hot (too many amps) and then shutting off. Does anyone have an idea on what could be wrong? What the cost would be to fix this problem?
Also, if I have a lot of sediment would it be beneficial to allow the faucet at the well to run to empty the well out to get rid of the bigger sediment and let it replenish again and see if that helps???
