We just bought this house. I don't know a lot about the well system, but we have some kind of issue - hopefully someone can help.

We moved in Sunday (11/8). I did a load of laundry and we lost water. We primed the pump and regained water on Monday. Everything was working fine. My son, myself and my husband have all taken showers. I washed every single dish I have, etc... basically used A LOT of water with NO issues in pressure, everything was fine! Then this morning I did another load of laundry. Once the washer got to the rinse cycle the water was barely trickling out. I checked the pressure gauge on the pump and it was at 0.

Any ideas? I don't think it would a problem with the water level in the well since I'm SURE that we used enough water during a shower to match what we would use to fill the washer. Could there be a problem with how the washer is hooked up? If so, what?

I am at a loss since it is only happening when I run the washer.

We have like NO money since the move - we have already ran into extra expenses from that and we have our first house payment due soon... and I'm 7 months pregnant! I am at my wits end - please help!! :confused:

What type of pump do you have? My bbet's on a submersible. Let me know, Tom

No we have a jet pump and it was a loose screw for the low PSI. It wouldn't stop at 30 like it should've and would always go to 0. My husband ended up calling someone to come out even though we didn't have the money for it.
