    Outside Well Water Flow
    I have an outside well for plants and the lawn. It has worked great for years. For the last two weeks, I can run a sprinkler off the well as normal, but after 5-10 minutes. The sprinkler won't move much at all. If I turn the well off for 10 minutes, it will run the sprinkler again for 5-10 minutes, and then have trouble moving the sprinkler. Is this a water table issue, or something with the well itself?

    Just a pump? Or do you have a pressure tank?

    How deep?

    Pressure tank, or just a pump stuck in the well? Submerged pump?

    Sorry to be disjointed in my queries. Just turning over the rocks.

    You might want to post this in the plumbing section - some REAL good help in there.
