The place I bought is on Rural Water, I found the old well. It is 75' deep in a
5" casing with the water level at 15'. I bought everything I needed (used) put the submersible pump in at 65' hooked everything up put 20 PSI in the tank thru the switch and am pumping water. The switch is set at 30 and 50.
The pump kicks on, pressure builds to 50, water flows, pressure drops to 30 pump kicks back on. The first few days excellent pressure at the end of the hose and the past few days low pressure at the end of the hose ... I checked the water level and after the rain I am now at 10'. Everything appears to be working correctly, just low pressure from the hose. Do I need more air in the tank?
