    Bad pump??
    My pump runs constant and never reaches cut off pressure runs out of water after a shower or even a toilet flush. Picks up a lot of sediment too. Please help if you can

    Sounds more like well has gone dry, and that's worse than a defective pump. Call well man.

    Thx. That's my biggest fear. My well is 265 ft deep and drilled in the 80's. It has had a slow recovery rate and been hydro fractured once. Sounds like lots o money to get good water. Any suggestions??

    Can only say consult several well drillers before doing anything.

    Sounds like the well may have caved in.

    Sorry, but yes it sounds like costly repair.

    Well may be filling with sediment.
