OK, Less than 15 months ago I replaced the pressure tank (now a 42" fiberglass model); pressure switch, submerged well pump, and standpipe (now black poly pipe). My 120' well had water at 45' - clear. Cold, and plenty. Today my pressure will suddenly slow from 58 to 40, then drop to zero instantly. While at zero, the pressure switch trips constantly. After 40-50 seconds, pressure jumps to 58 and flows for 5-7 minutes.
It is the switch? I know the tank is not waterlogged (light as a feather), and the pump runs like new when its on, as I can hear it easily blasting water up and into the house feed. What gives?? Help! Wife has dirty dishes!
