: I have a drilled well and a pumptrol pressure switch. All of a sudden using more than one faucet at a time causes the pressure to drop to zero, and i have to constantly re-prime the pump. This happened last summer too... at this point, turning one faucet on causes the pressure to drop to zero before the pump gets a chance to turn on to refill the holding tank. any ideas? I would check first for a faulty foot valve or a break in the pipe. You could also just not have enough water. Check your pressure tank also. Deb The Pipewench
