Submersible well pump - why is it kicking off?
We have a submersible well pump, about 15 years old. Replaced the control box and pressure gauge. Water storage tank checked out ok. The pump is still not cutting off or kicking on per the control box settings … and it only does this when trying to use the garden hose or the washing machine. Is it time for a new pump? I'm a senior and am trying to get answers from honest people before I hire someone!!!!

Hello there,
I am wondering if the filter in the pump has a lot of muck clogging it up, so that when you need it to work at full pelt, it can't cope? Needs a clean out??
