We just had out well cleaned out recently. For a while the water was very discolored but is finally back to normal.
Just recently we started having the box trip again. I sat and watched the pressure go from 70 down to 40 then back up, the down and it would shut off. The breaker in the house does n[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]ot trip but when we flip the breaker it resets the wellpower box and begins to run again. [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Thisis occurring more frequently. Usually when it’s flipped it goes back to normal,however, the last few times it kept shutting off over and over.[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Once we flip the switch there is instantwater and pressure.[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]We know we havewater but I am unsure what needs repaired.[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]We have had two companies out already to look at it and did state thatour lines outside needed cleaned and opened back up due to the level droppingbut that we have plenty of water.[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I dobelieve have a submersible pump.

1. If pressure is falling when water is not being used, then that would likely be a defective check valve. Could also be a leaking well pipe above the check valve, but not likely.

2. The breaker tripping is another matter. Is this pump in the well or above ground?
