: turn on water you have great pressure for about 5 seconds, then just barely trickles out.shut off for about 10 seconds same thing all over again.the pump is submersed in the well. You may have something blocking the in/outlet of the tank. Like the bladder or teflon tape. Possibly the bladder is broken. Or the air pressure precharge is not set at 1-2 psi less than the cut-in pressure switch setting. I.E 30/50 water presure settings gets 29-28 psi with no water in the tank.
