(quoted from post at 10:11:28 04/19/19)(quoted from post at 09:39:39 04/19/19) The pump keeps cycling...
Can you elaborate on that please?
I'm no expert, but I know that sometimes, wrong pressure in tank and bad pressure switch can cause pump to cycle, as can a buildup of air in the system.
Before doing anything else, I'd highly recommend finding the lowest valve in the system. If lucky, it'll be a 1" or larger, quarter turn valve. Fill the system up, then open the valve to quickly dump the system. Oftentimes, air can enter a line and slowly build up. By venting(?) the system, you can not only get excessive air out of the line, but also any buildup of sediment that might be hanging in a low spot.
(quoted from post at 11:06:56 04/19/19) Before I pulled the pump, I would put a check valve in the suck line at a handy place.

(quoted from post at 17:55:03 04/19/19) Shallow well as you say.
Deep well system is a submerged pump here, 150-800 feet deep.
Jet pump system is what you have.
By the way things are called ?here.? I did not understand what you had until I read quite a bit.

(quoted from post at 06:22:10 04/20/19) Why would you not just replace with submersible?
(quoted from post at 11:04:05 04/20/19) Also if the pump cycles without any water use it is leaking back down the well. If it cycles too often when using water it is low on air in the tank. Some have a Schrader valve to add air or you can drain tank then refill to trap air in or if there is a faucet close to tank and a shutoff valve down stream of faucet close shutoff and blow air in through faucet.
