    Running out of water
    I have a well water system and I run out of water before the pump will turn back on. It takes about 30 to 45 minutes to finally get water again. Just curious if there is an easy fix or not?

    Your gage drops to zero before the pump kicks in? What type of pump is it? How deep is your well? Does the pump shut off when it's up to pressure?
    I would start by checking the small tube running from the pump to the control box. Clear any clogs and try again. If You still have a problem then I would replace the control box,

    P)lease explain. Are you saying the pump runs dry for all that time before it can draw water from the well? Whit the pump off does the gage drop to zero?
    Let me know, Tom
