    U have not asked a question.

    U need a well specialist to come and check how much water the well is pumping a minute.

    There are different types of tanks and controls. We need to know what they are to help.

    The well may not be deep enough. The pressure switch may not be set correctly.

    If u have a bladder tank, the pressure in the tank may be wrong or the bladder may be broken.

    Give us some more info.

    Ed, three questions:

    1. Was the pump working OK but is now not working OK?
    2. If that is the case, then have any changes been made to the well system lately?
    3. Is your pump above ground or in the well?
