Hello,

Having some issues, not sure if my pump is u/s or just out of water. Yesterday no issues... today all of a sudden no water. This morning I had to reset the pressure switch numerous times to bring up the water pressure in the house, however getting a lot of brown water (iron in the water... common in this area with no softner)... at the worst point looked like sludge. It then started to lighten up some, so I thought I would run my softener to clean it up. I then tried resetting the pressure switch to get the pressure up and it took a while before water pressure was back up. I have checked the well and as far as I can tell there is water, due when I flush the toilet the resivoir fills up, however still brown (iron). Is this a pump problem... or what?? :confused:

Is this "brown water" gritty? You you unscrewed a areator and checked the screen? Sounds like cyour water table's getting low and you're pumping up more then water. Tell me more anout this "brown eater" Regards, Tom
