Sounds like you have a "water logged " ptressure tank. Switch pump off and drain water almost to bottom, then check air pressure at top nipple. if it's less than 20 psi or so, that's your problem. Try pumping it at the top with a small compressor. Put 30 psi in then turn on pump and see if it's better. If it's a bladder tank there are possibly pin holes in bladder.
Symptoms of a waterlogged pressure tank include short cycling of the pump, reduced water pressure, and frequent pump motor starting and stopping.
Common issues that can arise with well pump pressure switch problems include inconsistent water pressure, frequent cycling of the pump, and potential damage to the pump motor.
The pressure switch could be faulty, the pressure tank could be waterlogged, the pump intake could be at static water level. Call a well technician.
Using a bladder tank for a well pump system helps maintain consistent water pressure, reduces pump cycling, extends the lifespan of the pump, and improves overall system efficiency.
The pressure tank is full of water and has no air charge.
Your well pump may be cycling frequently when there is no water running due to a potential issue with the pressure tank or pressure switch. This could be caused by a leak in the system, a faulty pressure switch, or a waterlogged pressure tank. It is recommended to have a professional inspect and repair the system to prevent further damage.
A bladder tank for well water storage helps maintain consistent water pressure, reduces pump cycling, prolongs the life of the well pump, and provides a more efficient and reliable water supply system.
If the pump is blowing breakes, there is probably a short in the pump. The well could also be ceased. If there is very little water being pumped, the well could be dry or the pump might be "shot" http://www.irrigationsolutions.com
Symptoms of a bad pressure tank include fluctuating water pressure, short cycling of the pump, air sputtering from faucets, and waterlogged tank noises.
To determine if your well pump is bad, you can check for signs such as low water pressure, strange noises coming from the pump, or frequent cycling on and off. You can also test the pump's electrical connections and pressure switch to see if they are functioning properly. If you suspect a problem, it's best to consult a professional for a thorough inspection and repair.
Normally cycle BUT not to short cycle
It is probably clogged up and overheating so its safety cutout shuts down the power until it cools down enough to switch on again. To fix it, it will have to be disconnected and taken out of the well so that the pump chamber, the impeller and all associated pipes can be cleaned. This needs to be done regularly, depending on the condition of the water. If the pump was working a fountain in an outside pond a good time to clean it would be when it is taken out of the pond for the winter. If your weather is warm enough to leave the pump in the pond all year round it should still be taken out and cleaned regularly.
