We have a shallow well and a family member thinks it might be drying up.The pump is cavitating and we have just replaced the pump, check valve ,the water filter, the pressure gauge and reran the piping from pump to tank. The tank is holding pressure it reads 27 when checked with a tire gauge. When we moved the pressure gauge to the other side of the pump it shows a dramatic drop it pressure as it cavitates, and also when the pump turns off. We also checked the house for any leaky pipes, and found nothing. We don't know what else to do....Is there anything you could recommend we try before having to foot a $3,000.00 bill to have a deep well put in???
Any knowledge you have will be greatly appreciated.
