    Low/fluctuating water pressure after power outage, pump issue??

    No, was definately the culligan system is seemed; he cleaned a few things, and appeared to be better, however, now we have a big loss in flow at the kitchen sink (cold water only, hot works fine) and the toilet will not fill.... Must be a clog somewhere, just no idea where to look?

    Low/fluctuating water pressure after power outage, pump issue??

    I removed the filter as it appeared to be pretty caked with sediment; I also bypassed my culligan system and now we have endless amounts of high pressure. I am having a culligan tech stop tonight for an assessment as I doubt the system has ever been serviced given its condition when we bought...

    Low/fluctuating water pressure after power outage, pump issue??

    Well, more bad news, we had the drop line repaired on Friday, however after attempting to run the washer that evening, we had issues. It began filling fine, however, it then slowed to almost nothing and took about an hour just to fill. Meanwhile we had no water anywhere else in the house! I...

    Low/fluctuating water pressure after power outage, pump issue??

    Well, I had my pump pulled this a.m.; turns out there was a hole in the drop pipe, right above the connection to the pump itself. Wish I had pulled it myself, but I guess you live and learn and now i know for next time. Thanks for all the input!

    Low/fluctuating water pressure after power outage, pump issue??

    Is there a possibility that it could be the pressure tank? The system does not hold pressure after shutting off the pump. I removed the well cap and could not see/hear a leak, and the ground from the house to the well seems solid which would rule out a supply line leak. I also could not notice a...

    Low/fluctuating water pressure after power outage, pump issue??

    My guess is that its going to be something electric given the timing of the issues and a power outage as we got quite a bit of flickering of power prior to it completely going out.

    Low/fluctuating water pressure after power outage, pump issue??

    All good advice thus far; so I can just pull the cover off my well and listen for a possible leak in the down pipe? Also, I will have to see if I there's a valve before the pressure tank and see if I can build pressure. My original thought was a clog somewhere, but seeing how I am only building...

    Low/fluctuating water pressure after power outage, pump issue??

    I have a submersible pump (no pump in the house) and have a sealed diaphragm style pressure tank, one of the common blue type ones you typically see. I find it odd that we started to witness the pressure issues after a power outage.

    Low/fluctuating water pressure after power outage, pump issue??

    We lost power at our home a week ago for about an hour, the next morning we woke up to limited water pressure. We've had this problem before, but it was caused by scale/sediment, and it would fix itself. However, this time it did not fix itself, thus a different problem this time. I thought at...
