I have a situation where the flow of water is interrupted in my house for about 10 seconds. It is a new(ish) (about 5 years old) and the well is the same age. From time to time (about once a day) the flow will start to decrease and then suddenly the flow stops completely for about 10 seconds. The water then comes back on at full force. It will remain good for the rest of the day.
I have been in the basement by the pressure tank when this has occurred and it sounds as though there is a switch that is physically engaged when this happens and then it is released. My suspicions (and hope) are that this is an adjustment of some kind and not a call to replace the pump. Can some one guide me in what to adjust, how to adjust, and on what part of pressure switch do I make the adjustment?
In addition, if I am making adjustments – is there anyway to raise the pressure in the household? The upstairs shower in the MB doesn’t really have enough umph.
