I have a 3/4 hp shallow well goulds pump, about 9 months old, and a new bladder tank as well 40 or so gallons. The pressure switch is a 30/50. No problems til recently. The pump lost prime completly. We changed the check valve on the poly right before the pump and we dug up around the well and changed the well adaptor. Good thing too, it had eroded and had huge openings on it, its amazing we could keep prime. The system did well for a couple days. When it was running great it would only take 3-4 minutes from cut in to cut off. That was regardless if water was on in the house or not. However, the last week when the pump reaches 30 and kicks on it just stays at 30 for 10 or more minutes before finally it powers back up to 50 and cuts off. The time it takes to reach cut off seems to be getting longer as well. Though It seems to hold pressure after cut off as.
I am perplexed:
Is my well going dry?
Is there a crack in the block poly somewhere?
Would a bad foot valve at the well cause something like this?
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I don't wantmy pump to burn up. What could it be?
