As usual, this problem is coming to a head right before a major holiday and when I'm at work- probably my own fault for letting it go on this long. anyway- Submersible well pump about 10 years old. Occassionally- but more often today apparently- we get no water at the faucet. When this happens, I've turned the pump off ( I can hear and feel it running), waited a bit, turned it back on and it's pumped up. Once up, the system held pressure ( based on the guage) for an extended period, which lead me to beleive that i don't have any serious leaks. I have a hard time beleiving the well is going dry- it's rained cats and dogs for months out here- but I haven't flipped open the well yet. i assuming bad pump- maybe bad impeller?- but I guess actually looking in the well will tell the first part of the story. Any one experienced anything like this? What did you find?
