I have a well and use the water from the house on an outside faucet to fill water tanks for my horses and water gardens etc. When I turn the water on it trips the fuse in the house that is also connected to my water heater. I may get 5-10 gallons before it trips. When I reset the fuse in the fuse box the water comes on fine. Sometimes it is full pressure sometimes a little less.
I now can't get through a 5 minute shower without it tripping. Again when I reset the switch it is on full pressure or a little less.
I replaced the pressure switch and the pressure tank seems fine (holding pressure, no condensation lines.)
I am not sure where what to do next to troubleshooting this issue. I called a well company out and all they did was empty my well water charged me $400. Any ideas?
Many thanks!
