Well, I have asked some questions about my plumbing before. So I am calling on you guys once again. I have a 52 gallon pressure tank/bladder tank made by wellsaver. I turn the water on and have good pressure for a few minutes then it basically goes dead with no pressure. I recently posted questions and changed my water softner and all my plumbing and fixtures have been changed within a few months. Any answers??

Your complaint points to a pump that's not kicking back on as the pressure falls. What type of pump do you have? Regular or submersible? This can be caused by dirty contacts in the pump control box,(see image) and that's what I'd check first. If you find the control box is good then I would check the pump motor and as a last resort I would check the water table in the well. Good luck, Tom

I believe I have a regular but I am not sure. I know on the bladder tank it looks like the picture you have provided. I was also wondering if it is just not getting power to it? Or there might be a problem in the well?

The control box provides power to the pumps motor. Check it first. As I advised,"This can be caused by dirty contacts in the pump control box,(see image) and that's what I'd check first.
