Hey guys, I've been having water pressure issues and I can't find a solution. It's a private well pump, aqua air v60. If I turn the filter bypass on, the pressure is awesome, but with the filter on the pressure sucks. I know very little about water wells besides what I have read online so keep any suggestions simple.

How long since you changed filter?

2 weeks ago. That helped for a little while but now its back to how it was. It's weird I know but I can't figure it out.

Probably not weird at all. Your filter is clogging up which drops the volume to next to nothing. How long have you had this filter?

About 2 weeks. I have another one I could switch it out I guess. I kind of thought they didn't have to be changed that often but I guess its worth a shot.

I had same problem and changed filter. Pressure back to normal.

Don't try to clean filter and reuse. Inner part of filter is a more solid substance and does not clear out. Tried that.
