Hi. New, and need help. Since last Saturday, my well water fed house is loosing water pressure....When I first turn on a tap, I experience good, strong water pressure. Within seconds, the water flow can be cut in more than half. NOT CONSISTENT. On occasion, the water pressure remains strong throughout the usage demand time. Then start a load of laundry, and it can take forever for the tub to fill. Shut the water off for a few minutes, and I have good water pressure again, usually for several seconds, then dropping down again. The pressure tank pressure gauge seems to stay in the mid-thirties range, as opposed to the 60 pound make it usually sits at. Once the source that is drawing the water is closed, the tank pressure gauge rises rapidly, into the 60 lb region. Turn on the water, and watch it drop.
I have a well, pressure system and standard house hold plumbing. I suspect I might have a water logged pressure tank. I don't know for sure if I have a bladder or hydraulic pressure tank.
Any ideas where to start troubleshooting? I'm more than a little concerned about the well pump burning up. Thanks in advance for any help.
