We have had limited water for the past week. I check the pressure tank and it's full, have a shower, do laundry, flush a few toilets and now the tank is empty. The well pump kicks on and in 5-10 seconds shuts off. The tank still empty. The pump continuously does this, and after 5-8 hours the pressure tank is finally full. A water softner is hooked up to it as well, and the salt has not been disapting. I believe either the well is dry, but then why do I eventually get water?. I did check the air in the pressure tank and it is fine.. The tap in the bathroom drips steadily, is that an issue? I was told the pump has a pump troll, and it shuts the pump off when there is no water to pump, but the pump goes on and off frequently over the hours. I am just totally confused where to start, please help!
