I have a well, and this morning my husband went to take a shower, when all the water went away! I have tried every faucet in the house, and nothing! I can't even flush the toilet! PLEASE HELP!!

Even if your well went dry or your pump failed you would be able to flush each toilet at least once. Please give more details and address the toilet comment. Do you hear you pump running and have you checked the electric panel brteakers?

We did flush the toilet once, and my daughter decided to do it again, and it only filled up maybe half way. The water pressure the past few days has gone up and down. When my husband got in the shower, it just got weaker until there was nothing. We checked all the faucets and nothing. He had to leave for work this morning, and I don't know much about anything plumbing wise. So I am really trying to get ideas for him to try when he gets back. Thank you for responding so quickly :)

Is your pump submurged in the well or above ground? Can you tell if its running and have you checked the breakers in the electric panel?

Our pump is above ground, and I don't hear anything when I am near it. I am not sure how to check the electric panel breakers... is there a switch? I am sorry, but I am truly clueless... I know there is a box on the wall, and the gauge shows there is pressure, but it may be so old that it is stuck in that position. We have lived here for 7 years, and never replaced anything on it.

Locate the elctric panel and open the door. Do you see several black "switches" or do you see screw type fuses?

All I can see is a metal box with a lever on the side, up is on, and down is off. I will ask my husband when he gets home to locate it, and then get back to you. Do you have any ideas on what it might be?

Hi begley

Need more info.

Could be circuit breaker popped, well is dry or pump has burned out.

These are just a few things that could be wrong.

If breaker is OK check to see if pumpis pumping. U can do this by putting ear to water line coming into house.
If u have pressure gauge, is there any reading on it.

Let us know and we will try to help u
