    Water stops then starts
    :confused: just recently when I have been taking a shower the water pressure slowly dies out until the water becomes just a trickle for about 2 minutes and then the pressure kicks bak in and the water returns to normal pressure. This has been happening more and more lately. It also happens in the other faucets in the house. I was wondering if any one could help.

    Do you have a bladder tank or a large pressure tank? How deep is your well? Any chance you are drawing the water table down so far it has to build back up before the pump primes? Regards, tom
