    U may have debris in flowmaster. Shut off water and flush toilet. Remove cap on top and holding a cup above turn water back on . This will flush unit. Shut water off and reinstall cap. Turn on water to fill tank.

    If water continues to run, adjust float.

    If water continues to run, replace flowmaster.

    Who did the replacement work? If it was a contracter, then he should be able to tell you where the tank is. There are a few submersible systems which have the pressure tank actually in the well, though it is not common.

    Follow the electrical wiring to find the switch. The switch should be fairly close, as in a few feet, from the tank.

In a 160 ft. Deep well with a submersible pump, pressure has gone from 60 to 45 psi [ 5 Answers ]

Water pressure began to degrade about 2 week ago the pump continued to run with pressure switch at 60PSI, reduced pressure switch to 55 ans it was OK, after 1 week pump could not achieve 55PSI. I dropped the pressure to 50PSI. It continues to degrade. Does this sound like a bad pump?
