Hello I bought a house with a water well its a deep water well with a submersible pump all was good for 10 years but the other day went to take a shower and had no water. I went to basement tripped the pressure cut off switch water would come on for about 30 seconds to a minute.
I thought it was the pressure cut off switch so I changed it with a automatic switch 40/ 60 psi. ( thats what was on it)
Same problem so I thought pump went out I had two used ones in garage tried both of them with same problem water only working for 30 seconds or so.
I thought might be wiring so I replaced all wire from where it came out of ground all the way to pump but same problem water runs only for short time.
Checked bladder tank had 20psi so I pumped up to 38psi but still same problem.
I bought a new 1hp pump as that's what was on it previous installed but same problem.
The pump; is down about 70 foot and I know its got plenty of water to it as its been very wet here in ohio and have never run out of water previous.
I can shake bladder tank feel no water in it.
Also the auto pressure switch that is new never kicks itself back on like the previous one would I have to go manually do it everytime.
