The problems started last summer. The pump would often not shut off unless I tapped on the pressure switch. Just before I got tired of running downstairs and was ready to call someone, it started working again. It worked all fall, winter, and most of spring. Towards the end of spring, it started taking a long time to shut off. Then wouldn't shut off unless I hit the pressure switch, and now tapping the switch will only shut it off sometimes. Other times I have to let it run for a bit, shut the pump off completely, and turn it back on. Turning it back on will sometimes be enough for it to shut off. Other times that won't work, so I completely shut it off and go to work. I come home 10 hours later, turn it on, and its fine....until I use water again.... Today, I just started the wash, and my daughter flushed the toilet. Pipes made a loud noise so I checked the water pressure in the washer as it was filling, and noticed it slowed down. I shut the washer off, waited till the toilet was finished, turned the washer back on, and everything was fine. Running down and hitting the pressure switch/turning the pump off and on, and making sure this isn't using water the same time as that is getting super old.... I will be calling someone but am wondering if anyone has had similar issues and what to prepare myself for when the repair guy comes in....
I should add that my well is one of the deepest in my area and no one else is having well issues atm.
