    Tntubbs - Have you checked to see if you have 220 going to the pump, the breaker may be tripped or not on , I hope you were easy putting the pump back down in the well and didn't break the wires or one of them. :: Are you on a pressure switch or on the box that has the start compasstor in it , it could be either one of them could be bad. If it is not one of the things I said it could be , take the pipe loose out side the tank and turn the well pump on and see if you have pressure comeing out :: HOPE ONE OF THESE WORKL FOR YOU< GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS ::: F.B.E.

    FBE, He's already stated that the pump runs so power isn't a issue.
    Tubbs, Does the pump hold prime? Could the well point be buried in soil and clogged? What have you tried so far? Talk to me! Cheers, Tom

    Seems to hold prime but olny have about 5 psi reading on pump, put new foot valve in other valve in well seems to work fine. It's a jet pump shallow well about 35-40 ft

    Check the suction line for leaks. Let me know what you find, Tom
