I have a problem with my pressure from my well. The well is just for the sprinkler system. It start out really strong at 30 and about four minutes it drops down to 20. This just does not seem to be enough pressure. Is there a way to get more pressure or to keep it at 30 ? Thanks. Hope you can help ME!

The pump is what keeps it at 30 but, it can't do that unless there is enough water to pump. It sounds like you are pumping all the water out of the well. Your well screen may be plugged. We need a little more info on the pump and well such as water level before and after pumping.
