    I pressure cleaned house and now all of a sudden I'm not getting running water in hous
    I pressure cleaned my house today and cleaned where all the water equipment is and my wife was doing dishes 5 hours or so later and noticed low pressure, then it just stopped all together, the whole house... I checked breakers in the garage panels turned them off and on to the well, went outside and flicked the switch that's on where the pressure tanks are the switch makes the motor in the airator kick on and off and is usually the fix to my problem but this time its not working. The airator is empty now and don't know what else to try

    You will need a meter or tester at this point.
    Doesn't mean you can't visually find the problem.

    You will have to test each breaker and circuit, you will need to start at supply line and work in.

    If you got some of the electronics wet, it may have shorted some controls out.

    Let me understand your set up. You have two pumps correct? One to pump from the well to the aeration tank and another from the tank to your house. Correct so far? We start checking at the well pump control box, With the breakers on you should have current at the terminals. If not pull the breakers and check them one by one. Get back to me with the results and we'll move on. Back to you, Tom
