I've read several posts about loss of water pressure, but none of them seem to return quickly like mine. I have a driven point well with a 1/2 hp shallow well pump that has a small balloon-like tank on top of it. I'm not sure how much water the tank holds but it doesn't seem much bigger than a five gallon bucket, if that helps. Anyway, my problem is that shortly after turning the water on it begins to lose pressure and eventually nothing comes out at all. Then I hear the pump turn on and regain full pressure within a minute. I am planning to have a plumber check it out, but I hate to call some one and not have any idea what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, there are some repairmen (not just plumbers) who would rather do a large repair for extra profit rather than just fix the problem for minimal profit.
Any suggestions?
