I am new to this forum and I thank everyone in advance.
Now the problem...
I turned my pump off the other day to add a few valves in the house (added a new bathtub). While working the plumbing I also "bleached" the well. Now I don't know if either of these caused by problem but now the system will pressure up the tank to about 62lbs. and I will have water (for awlile). If I continue using the water the system is fine but once I stop, and after the pressure maxs out, the next time I use the water the pressure drops (as it shoiuld) but the pressure switch? doesn't start up the pump. If I manuel turn the pressue switch on it is fine until it maxs again. My wife has noticed that if a faucet is left on a few minutes (no water or air coming out of the pipes)
the pump starts up (less then 40lbs pressure).
I have a 240 pump hp unknown at about 50-60 feet or so.
There were a few frayed wires (the switch and at the pump) which I cleaned up.
