Hello I live in a very old trailer home and all my water comes in off a well. I have continually had countless problems with the water either the line under the house breaking or corroding or the pump acting up and sometimes both freezing. Today while building a shed over the pump a hammer was dropped and broke the water line right in front of the pressure tank. I repaired the water line and now I don't have enough water pressure to run the shower and very poor pressure out of the faucets. The spigot right near the pump has plenty of pressure so I am curious what would be causing this issue. I have always had poor pressure but now I have none. The pump seems to kick on and run like normal. MY thoughts were maybe the pressure tank no longer has any air in it, or maybe is full of sand from the well. I just find it odd that it worked okish until that pipe broke and now doesn't work at all. Thank you for your help!

That indicates pump and tank functioning properly.


I have always had poor pressure but now I have none.

That indicates some kind of flow restriction between the tank and those fixtures. Remove shower head and check flow. Remove all aerators and check flow. Clean or replace all aerators.


a hammer was dropped and broke the water line right in front of the pressure tank

Presumably when that happened, the tank was drained. That should have restored the proper volume of air in the tank and flushed out any sand that had accumulated in the tank. Assuming of course that you do have a pressure tank and not a bladder tank.
