[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1723448, member: 18945"] I'm thinking, that the near zero weather 11 months ago and no electricity for over 36 hrs may have cracked the pvc discharge above the pump but within the tank. They used quite a bit of water from the tank during those days gravity flow from a valve drain valve lower on the tank for drinking, flushing, general use water into 5 gal buckets and the water level in the tank dropped down to about 1/2 full. Sometimes freeze cracks don't show up for months. May even have cracked the pump case. I had trouble with my own well about a month ago and filled a 55gal drum with water from his well and he plenty of pressure and flow at that time, but the pump was not shutting off then either. I just assumed they were using water in the house at the same time. He has not noticed any drop in either pressure or flow in his house. I'll have to look at the thing closer tomorrow or the next day. [/QUOTE]
