Greeting all,
I've been without water for two days now, and need some help.. My wife was doing dishes the other night and the water just stopped.. now, we were away for 4 days camping and upon returning, caught up on laundry 6 loads, and 4 showers.. plus some dishes.. in one day. I'm afraid we may have dried the well out, although this has never happened before. I went to see if the breaker tripped, but it did not. I looked on the gauge and it was showing no psi. I put a pressure gauge on the tank, and that also read zero. So I turned the pump off, because I kind of freaked out thinking the pump would burn out.. I then turned the pump back on just to see, and the pressure went up to only 9 psi and I could hear some water gushing in.. But it stopped after maybe 10 seconds.. I did this a few times with the same result.. The pump is a GOULDS Bruiser 4"105sbo. The motor is a CentriPro model m05422. And the tank is a Well Mate, Pentair water.. I believe 19 Gal.. This whole set up was installed September of 2011.. So it's not too old.. The well is 40 Ft Drilled.. I believe if I do not have water soon my wife will murder me.. Thanks for any help..
