I have a electric water well. when i use so much water a day it start to run low?

Question

I have to prime the well every day. What's Wrong?

Answer 1

you need either need a new tank, to hold the water, in before it pumped ,to the house, or you have a problem ,with your well.
i would guess, you have a small well, maybe 250ft,
you mite need to re dig a new one ,before to long

Answer 2

How are you (priming the well)? The pump is at the bottom of the well. The tank(holding) is the only thing that you can see in the house The way to (prime) it is to put extra air in the tank with a tire pump. Is this what you are doing? There is a diaphragm in the tank ,If the water flows after you (pump it up) you need a new tank. What are you doing that you call priming?? PS most wells have an electric pump.A good well tank is named well mate. Get a good sized one if yours is small . Get a plumber to do it.If you are running the well dry, you may be able to get the well (fractured) Well is filled w/ liquid nitrogen, and a small explosive charge is set off , the liquid gas produces a shock wave that cracks the well side walls , letting in more water.. Good luck.

Answer 3

You are exceeding the refill capacity of your well. Only three choices here...
1. Use less water or spread the useage out better (water lawns at night, for instance)
2. Have a well service company come and try cleaning the well. This may or may not help.
3. Have the well deepened or drill a new one.

Answer 4

Call in a well man to clean the well and see what's wrong. He will run a pipe down the well after pulling the pump out and clean it good, see how deep it is in conjunction with the area aquifer. Then he will check out your pump and your connections. It's all worth it.
