i have recently purchased a home with a deep well jet pump. i put in a new flint and walling 1/2 hp. i removed all existing plumbing from the pump on to the house. at the pump i just have a brass spigot. if i run the pump to a hose that goes outside...sometimes it will pump for 20 minutes before it just losses pressure and runs dry until i run downstaris and turn off the spigot and wait for it to get pressure again.
when i first turn it on it holds at about 40-38 psi. i can open the spigot slowly until around 20 psi if i open it more the pump losses all pressure like explained above.
a few questions:
will this go away witha pressure tank on?
i have a 30/50 pressure switch, how do i know if i need a 20/40 etc....
what does it mean 30/50 on at 30 off at 50 ? like i said this is my first experience with a well.
