Just a thought, could it be that your pump is on it's last leg? Last summer our well couldn't power a sprinkler 150 feet away from the spicot. This year, after it stopped pumping (AAAHHHH!!) and was replaced, it will power a est. 50' x 30' arial rotating (oscilating?) sprinkler.
Turns out, 15 years is an unusual length of time for a pump to keep operating. Ours is 75 feet deep.

Telsing, talk to the neighbors. Had my GF done that, she would have known all the wells go dry in her area. They are all very shallow. It would have saved her the 5 grand she paid for the well driller. He drilled 3 places, no water. She keeps a huge bulk tank for extra water.

Turns out, 15 years is an unusual length of time for a pump to keep operating. Ours is 75 feet deep. In 15 years, we replaced the well pump twice and the pressure tank tank once. But we never ran out of water. Not even when we had a dozen head of cattle, 35 sheep, 100+ fowl, showers every day and the occasional watering of a 75x150 foot garden plus two other smaller gardens. (I never wasted water on the lawn). |
