Another day, another well question.
Our well was running fine until suddenly it will only pressurize the system to 22lbs.
It is a 1 HP submersible of unknown age.
The well is around 450' deep.
6" casing.
I can see the water level from the surface. probably 50' down.
45 gallon pressure tank.
Pump pulls 8.9 amps when running.
Runs constantly because the pressure never reaches 30 lbs to shut off the switch.
If I turn the breaker off, the pressure gauge will hold at the current level.
Any thoughts?
