    Shallow well, pressure issues

    There IS water, it's pumping, it's just not building up pressure. I can manually kick the pressure switch off and run the water and it will start up again on its own with the prime it's maintained.

    Shallow well, pressure issues

    I have several neighbors in the same aquifer as I am, not one else is having any issue. My bet is on the system, not the water. Not that I have a lot of experience with wells.

    Shallow well, pressure issues

    The filter on the wall is from a previous incarnation (I upgraded to all Pex a couple years back) and I haven't tied it into the new lines.

    Shallow well, pressure issues

    A worn pump - something repairable? i.e., would putting a new impeller in it make a difference?

    The pump turns on when it should but never builds pressure completely to shut off. Pressure tank would make sense. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks!

    Shallow well, pressure issues

    I have a shallow well, the 94L105 pump is about 18 years old, the point has been in the ground longer than that. Recently it started running constantly just a few lbs before being up to pressure. I put a new pressure switch on it and it the issue went away for a couple weeks but it's back...
