I just bought a home on a well and find that the water in the house frequently stops running, especially after doing laundry, but also several times throughout the day. I check the pressure gauge and it reads zero. I reset the pressure switch and I hear the water start to run as the pressure increases, then the pump comes on and I have water for a period of time. I hear the pump run as we use the water for some time but randomly it stops running and again no pressure at the gauge. It appears the tank is only 1/3rd full as I can see condensation on the outside of the tank to a point.
This is inconvenient and I'm a bit worried there is a problem somewhere in the system as I've never had to deal with having to manually flip a switch to have the well keep up with the water demand in the house. We dont even use that much.
Any ideas? I'm no plumber either so I could be missing something.
