i just pulled up our well pump because it wasn't kicking back on right away for some time now. It is a 5 gpm and 1/2 hp. it is 275 ft deep. it only lasted 3 years. should i upgrade the pump or get the same one

Well I just put new pressure switch in. So I know it’s not switch

Pump is down the well. It only takes a minute or two for water to kick back on. In the past when well went dry it was cloudy water

The pump is down the well. Our water turns back on after 1 minute of being off each time. Usually when our water is dry it is cloudy. Past week or 2 this has been happening. The water turns off and back on after 2 minutes

Check/adjust the air precharge with the water pressure zero. Usually you want 2 psi below the actual pressure switch cut-on pressure for a submersible pump, and 5 psi (or whatever it takes to avoid a pressure stutter when the pump turns on). Does this mean with no water in tank

I will do this when I get back. Do you think that could cause problem. I can shower and won’t run out or do a load of laundry. But if I run laundry then hop in shower the water cuts off to zero for a minute then kicks back on

Thanks for reply. The first time we replaced it we didn’t empty bladder tank and water sprayed in the air. Would this indicate it’s not clogged?
