We just replaced our 1 and half horse submersible with new pump the same horse power. Ended up also replacing the pressure tank (30-50)and all the fittings, pressure switch, and gauge above ground. Old system was about 20 yrs old from what we were told and had lots of corrosion on the above ground pipe. Did not replace pipe from ground level to pump (385FT pvc?). The new system will not build pressure above 20 psi and loses down to 0 when any faucet is turned on. Tank air pressure is 28. System will hold pressure from check valve on. Not sure on any of the specifics of the well itself. Bought the home 5 yrs ago and have never had a well before this, so still learning about them! This is the first problem we have had from it.
