In helpwaterpump won't stay primed.

I have power going to the pump.
I have water in the pump.
everything seem to go great but all of a sudden when you think this is it there is no water.

Getting very upset here I just moved into this house a month ago and and had to buy a new pump I had to repipe the whole house because they let the pipes freeze in the winter.

Does the pump stop running or does it continue to run but is not pumping water?

If the pump just stopped then you have a electrical problem. If it runs but loses prime when it shuts off then I would give a good hard look at the check valve first. Good luck, Tom

The pump does not lose power it just does not keep the water flowing.
I dug the well today replaced the thing on the end.
and still I have the problem.
I called in the plumber and even he does not have answers. He told me to dig the well and see if there is water.

just don't under stand.
by then way there is water.
