The well is 5 years old with a 4" submersible with a 3hp motor and a 90/105pressure switch supposibly the well casing is down 600 ft and the motor at 200 with the water table at 60 feet(the reason why I say supposibly is because i was not present when it was drilled).Anyway I thought at first i had a water logged problem so i went to drain the tank and noticed that the pressure was holding at 70 psi and the pump was constantly running. I drained the tank and turned back on. The pressurs would not go up to 90psi and would max at about 70psi and took a very long time to reach it also. I then lowered the pressure switch so the pump would kick off. When i went to take a bath the water had alot of sediment. I ran the water for a couple of hours and it still has sediment in it. The pressure loss did not happen over time it happen all of a sudden..
