I have a well and I am losing pressure off and on during the day. I have a water softener but it is not charging at the time of the low pressure. It occurs throughout the house not just one sink or bathroom. What could my problem be?

A pressure loss can be explained by one of three things. (1) a leak on the pressure side. (2) a faulty check or foot valve ot (3) The water table has dropped and the pump sucks air. If I had to make a guess,(which I hate to do) I would start at door number two. Good luck, Tom
