We had our well dug about 3 years ago. For the first 2 1/2 years it was working beautifully. Then, six months ago, we were having problems with water pressure and narrowed it down to our holding tank. The bladder had ruptured and so we were having to constantly be recharging the tank with air to keep our pressure up. Well, we have finally been able to replace the tank but have come to discover a more serious problem.
Our well seems to be running on a 12 hour cycle. We have water for about 12 hours a day and then for the next 12 nothing. The holding tank is holding air in but the pressure gage for the well is showing 0 psi. When we turn on the faucet at the well it only spurts out air. We have tried shutting the pump off for several hours and then turning it back on but until that 12 hour time frame has passed, nothing happens. Have any of you heard of anything like this happening? Any suggestions of what we can do?
