Cool

Is it a problem with your water supply?
Is the pump running continuously with no water?
Please describe in more detail until Ron (Pumpman) Peeks, the resident well and pump expert, comes along.
In the meanwhile, visit his site at www.peekspump.com
Good luck!

Well water

Hi,
It does sound like water is used faster than the well can regenerate, leaving the water level too low for the pump.
As Mike said, more info would help. Do you have a submersible pump, or above ground? Does it run continuously, etc.?
Let us know.
