Hi. I am new to this forum, though I have searched it a number of times. We bought a house on 8 acres about a year ago, 2 story and about 2700 daft with 2.5 baths. We are new to having wells. We have two wells, but the older we’ll was “turned off”, or so we thought, but it turns out the power wires running to that one were severed underground before we moved in. The well we get our water from is solar powered, when there is sun, and pumps into two 2500 gallon tanks, which then appear to be gravity fed to the house where we have a booster pump and what looks like maybe somewhere around a 50 gallon pressure tank. Our house has very little pressure aside from when the booster kicks in, but that pressure in the tanks only lasts a short bit. So like our new dishwasher barely cleans well, etc. I’ve tried getting service providers out but no one shows. One guy came out and replaced the pressure switch but that didn’t do anything. I am not sure if going from the original well to this solar, gravity one had anything to do with it, but all the booster pump, pressure tank, appear to have been set up for that, and maybe we just have the wrong set up now for the solar one? Again, we are totally new to wells and are learning as we go. I was just hoping someone would read this and maybe have an aha moment and know what we might try doing.
