    New well pump & tank.water still cuts off
    We just replaced our well pump... 2nd one in 3 years. The problem was our tank was busted which burned the pump up, so we replaced the tank. I flushed the toilet and went to wash my hands & the water cut off. After a few minutes, the water came back on. Today, I was washing my hair... the water cut off again. After a few min. back on. What could be the problem now? I'm going to lose my mind! Thanks for any help!

    When you say "cut off", I am assuming you mean the pressure just slowly fell off to a dribble, then slowly picked back up to the pressure you are used to. If that is the case, it is important to know if the pump is running during these no pressure periods. Check that and get back to me.
