Pumper

Hi, first post.
I have a Grundfos 22SQE10-180 pump in a 205' deep well set at 120'. Static water level is about 30'. Well has never gone dry. Pump has been going strong going on 15 years come December, which I assume is a good life.
Recently the flow has been erratic. About 2 weeks ago the flow would start out good and then drop to a light stream. Now it's starting out good and dropping to 0 PSI, there's a one or two second lag time and then bam, right back to a good flow. This cycling repeats.
I'm beginning to think that the CU301 controller is going bad or there's some kind of mis-communication between the pump and the controller. We often get power "blinks" where we lose power for a split second and lightning storms is not uncommon. I don't have the controller on a surge protector. Will soon though.
2 gal. tank is still good and the transducer is clean. Would it behoove me to just buy another system? Unlike most local pump services I have a very honest well pump guy that will install an eBay system without a problem rather than buying if from him. Most local services want to gig you and require you buy from them mainly because of the State license requirement.
Thanks
