Hi guys!
Have a dug well. The 1/2 hp shallow well pump we had bit the dust. Went and bought a new 3/4 hp pump. Hooked the new pump up the same way as the old one but when I turn it on the water runs and then after a few minutes goes to a trickle. Then when you turn faucet off for a few minutes you have water again for a few minutes. Checked for leaks there is none. I don't have it hooked to a pressure tank but the old one wasn't either. With faucets off the pump still intermittently runs. I'm lost. Appreciate the help!
