How deep is your well? Is there a chance your well has run dry?

Sounds like the intake's clogged or the pump isn't picking up prime for some reason. Unless one the other experts has something better I say pull the pump and put it in a wash tub full of water and turn it on to see why it isn't pumping. Is there something that was capped on the pump that you failed to remove? Let me know what you find. Good luck, Tom

I'm wondering if a checkvalve might have been installed backwards. Who installed the new pump?
