I've got a 24 year old Red Jacket submersible pump and a few days ago the water coming out became black and murky some of the time and was clear other times.
The pressure switch is a 30/50 and I noticed that when it pumps up it get to 46 PSI then the pump cuts off. Once the pump is off the pressure drops over around 10-20 seconds to 40 PSI then sits at 40 for a minute then jumps down to a little over 30 and slowly drops to 30 and the pump kicks back in.
I know there isn't a leak inside since it does this with the water to the house shut off.
What could this be? A broken pump? Dry well? I'm not sure what to do.
