[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 320116, member: 2217"] I have 2 wells and pressure tanks here on the farm. MK is correct. It could be a leak in the system which would be easy to see if it were right at your pressure tank and associated piping. It could also be a fault in the pressure switch. Do you have a pressure gauge in the system? Should be close to the pressure tank and should show you pressure loss. And yes. It could be the pressure tank has become waterlogged. There is a bladder or diaphragm in the tank that separates the air and the water. if that has ruptured and your tank is full of water that would cause your pump to cycle. There should be what looks like a tire valve on the top of the tank. With the pump running, depress the valve and if you get water coming out, your tank is definitely hooped. Your tank should have a pressure rating on it. Typical tanks are a 30/50 which require about 29 psi of air in the tank to work properly. That's about all I got.... [/QUOTE]
