Well pump surging

Everytime we flush the toilet or run water and the tank fills the pump surges and we hear the pressure switch turning on and off. Once the toilet is filled or we turn off the water the surging stops. We also have a surge in the water as it runs. Any information on what is causing this and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated!!

Sounds like maybe your pressure tank is waterlogged but the well guys on this forum should be able to tell you for sure.

I think Pumpguy is right.
Do you have a diaphragm tank, or a galvanized steel tank?
