    Okay looking at the well u should see a gray box in some cases there is a small leaver on the side you can just pull this up and it will start your pump hold it in place until you can release it and you can still hear the pump running. If the box don't have a leaver take the gray cover off the box and very carefully with a plastic are rubber handled screwdriver push the points together. This will make the pump come on and u should start to build presser in the tank. Good luck hope this helps
