Please help. Have very little knowledge about wells but will do my best to describe symptoms.
We are running out of water. We will get some in the house but it runs out quickly... this is a new problem... my tank is set at 38 psi of air and is should set to cycle at 40/60, but the pump cycles on for literally 1 second and then cuts off... we have tried adjusting the pressure switch, but the gauge shows no change in pressure as we do this, we have tried purging the tank of air and water, resetting the psi to 38 and turning back on the pump... once again cycles on and off in literally 1 second. The gauge never reads more than 27 lbs, Is this a possible pressure switch problem, gauge problem or worse? If more clarification is needed let me know, and I will do my best... new at well "problems"! And thanks so much in advance!
Blessings.
