    My well is not producing water,is it poosible it will refill?
    I did 6 loads of laundry, ran dish washer 1 time and used the garbage disposal 3 times . After that I turned on the water it sputtered a little and then no water, I turned the pump off over night hope it would refill I turned it in this morning and the water was running very slow and steady. How long should I let the pump run and or how long could it take to get water level up to get the same pressure I had before the drama began? Should I leave the pump on while waiting for the water to refill.

    Is waitng for the water to refill a realstic option?

    To refill what? A pressure tank? To bring the system up to pressure? Yes. You should leave the pump on unless it's pumping air. You ran the water table down with those draws and you'll have to let it build back up. I hope you've learned a valuable lesson. It's called "water conservation". Good luck, Tom
