We have a slow well. We have a well manager that consists of the following: - a 210 gallon storage tank - a controller that allows us to set: --how long the well pump will run each cycle --how long the well pump will set idle between cycles --how long the well pump will run before being shut down because water is not flowing into the storage tank - a pump and pressure tank to provide water to the house. For years we have had the well manager set to run 90 seconds each cycle, to set idle for 58 minutes and 30 seconds between cycles, and to stop a cycle if water is not flowing into the storage tank after 6 seconds. Yesterday afternoon we had no water pressure in the house. I found the storage tank was very low and the low water light was on. I found that it now takes about 12 seconds for water to flow into the storage tank. I set the well to run for 60 seconds, set idle 59 minutes, and wait 20 seconds before shutting down for no flow. This seems to work for now. What do you think caused the change?

I have a shallow well, single line jet pump that goes to a 20' deep well that is running dry. I am currently having a 320' deep well drilled, and accompanying submersible pump being installed with it. Is it possible to have a "T" connection to the pressure tank to allow me to switch over to the jet pump as a back up? Alternatively is there any harm to running that pump directly to an exterior hose without any sort of pressure tank? Thanks!
