Small question

[hoolligan220]

Hey guys im kinda new to this so srry if the question may be out there and scattered brained but ya see i live out the country and my house is run off a well which runs really good but here recently for about a yr or so it seems like something in my well is causing my pressure switch to 1 constantly kick on and run and 2 run on bit lower pressure than what i reckon she should be at ( about 27-30ish psi) what do u guys think would normally cause these problems ?and for refrence its about 110ft well thats around 70 yrs ol or so

Drop pipe might have a hole in it. Do u have the brand ,model, hp and pump depth?

As far as brand, model,and hp kinda hard for me to get a read on it bein about 70 or so yrs old but thr depth is at about 109 ft

WHat i mean by constantly kicking on is regardless of whether i used/pumped any water u could hear the pressure switch being used/on/workin every few seconds likr every 8 to 10 sec

That fits hole in the drop pipe. Also fits badly leaking o-ring on the pitless adapter (if you have a pitless), or other bad leak. Could even fit failed check-valve at the pump.
