I have a 5" drilled well. Submersible pump at 27ft. Seemed to be running out of water last spring. Thinking maybe poor recovery or bad pump. I pulled it and replaced the pump. Also dropped it lower by about 6 inches. Now of coarse I have lots of sediment etc. It's spitting air from the faucets and really noticeable in the shower and the toilet. Spitting and sputtering. Was worse in the morning after sitting but know is doing it all the time. Pressure tank, valves, T, check valve all new last year also. Did it before and after all this. Am I right in thinking maybe the water table is dropping and the pump is sucking air? Am I just band-aiding and actually need a new well?
Thanks for the help. Looks like a tone of help and info here.
