    My well pup loses prime every time it goes off.
    I replaced everything including the pump itself, the checkvalve and all of the pvc back to where it disappears under the paved driveway. Any ideas other that breaking up the concrete and locating the well itself? The pump does produce water at regular pressure after a 2-3 minute wait.

    There is a seal on the end of the pipe under ground (way down under) by the well point which probably is leaking and needs to be replaced.

    And Who Would Place A Well Under A Driveway?? Not A Good Plan To Start With I Don't Think, And If I Did Have To Remove The Driveway To Make The Repair I Betcha It (the Driveway) Would Have A Curve In It To Where It Was Away From My Well. I Wish You The Best Of Luck.
