Yesterday My well pump seems to be running very quickly and kicks in at about 60psi and off at 62 psi.
Really I should say that it looks like the pressure gauge drops to almost zero for a split second before (or at the same time as) the pump kicks in
Normally it is off at 60 and on at 40 psi.
(But right before that it was ay 60 psi.)
Recently I have used alot of water for irrigation.
Could the problem be that the screen is mostly plugged?
Or the aquifer water level is low and it sucks air into the system?
Could it have lost air from the bladder tank and thus limited the pump cycle volume?
Thanks for any thoughts.
