I just bought a house about 2 months ago and over the past couple of weeks I began to have some problems with the water.
The pump is taking a really long time to get up to pressure. While taking a shower I have normal pressure for the first few minutes, then it dies down to barley any pressure. I would have to shut the water off and let the sure build up to get pressure again. This not only happens with the shower, but if I run the tap long enough it will do the same thing.
I have an inline filter. I tried bypassing it but it still does the same thing.
-The pump makes a weird noise as if its starving for water and the pressure gauge jumps up and down as its filling the tank.
-I took the cover off the well and looked in. the water level is level with the ground (not sure if this is normal).
the pump does kick on and off at the right pressures, it just takes a long time to reach the pressures.
any help would be appreciated
