You have a leak (maybe a toilet) in the house, or between the house and the well. It could also be a leak in the pipes in the well. The last thing would be a leaky checkvalve. A waterlogged tank will make it seem like a larger leak because of the small amount of water it takes to turn the pump on and off.

Can a car run without a water pump?

The water pump circulates the water though the cooling system of the engine, the radiator and associated pipes. Without the pump to circulate the water through the system temperature control will be staled and the engine will overheat. Some water cooled engines were designed to run without the use of a water pump. An example of one would be a 1958 Massey Harris Pony tractor. It has a 20 hp water cooled engine with a radiator that relies on convection cooling.

1993 Chevy blazer water not circulating does this indicate themostat closed or water pump not working .?

Very rare for a water pump not to pump so I would replace the thermostat first. Also, not a good idea to run straight water in the cooling system, use a mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% clean water.
