Hi!
We just purchased a house w/ a well and are having trouble with the water pressure. We have ok pressure when turning on a sink faucet, but if we flush the toilet and go to wash our hands there is very little water. And forget it if I need to do laundry, someone go to the bathroom or wash their hands. It ain't happenin'
We have a submersible well pump w/ a challenger series 32 gal. tank and a 40/60 square D switch. Our pressure guage reads at about a constant 65psi, although today as we were trying to adjust things it did drop down to 30psi once. The pump seems to click on, then off, then clicks on again about 1 1/2 min. later, then off, then on again about a minute later.
Any suggestions on what we need to do? DH attempted to adjust the pressure switch, however it didn't seem to change the pressure guage readings at all, but did lower the pressure in the house to nearly nothing.
