Got it figured out. Thanks!

Right. Before I measured, I thought the intake/pump might be above the surface. Now I'm wondering if it's sitting on the bottom! Yup, I've had the pump out two or three times now. I'm going to replace the pump. Nearest pump is $700+. New, but older model. If I ordered, what would I get? What...

"One possibility is the pump is mounted higher than the surface of the water in the well." It's on the end of PE pipe, submersed. That's the direction I've been going -- that the intake on the pump is above the water surface.

I'm having a similar issue - driving me nuts! I've taken it apart 3 times. Nothing is plastic, all brass. And a guy I hired to get the job done overtightened every fitting and broke the pressure gauge.

I'm installing a washing machine in a house that wasn't plumbed for it. Where should I plumb in the drain? This is a composite photo pieced together from phone photos, so it looks a little wonky, but you get the idea.
