hi firem –
I’m a newbie so take this for what it’s worth. But maybe your well is running low. I think if the water drops below the level of the foot valve down in the well, the pump will stop. When the water level rises in the well above the foot valve the pump will come back on automatically. At least I think that’s all true.
Maybe you could somehow check the water level in the well when the pump shuts off?
Good luck and hope the pro’s jump in.
