WIll u get water if your Well Pump is not workin ? I have low water pressure right now that seems to get worse

I have a submersible pump in a shallow well. the house has been here for about 50 years. I have a reverse osmosis system hooked up and a pressurizrd tank to hold water. There is also a UVlight. This problem gets real bad when I run the washing machine. I get little to no water. when I shut off the washer the pressure builds back up an I get some pressure at the taps. When I open the taps the pressure decreases. If I open the tap below the pressure tank to the main line it seem to have good flow. I do not hear the pump running or know what I am listening for. Can I hear a submersible pump. I have checked the breaker box all circuits are on.

I have a similar water system, perhaps I'll be able to help. You may not have a well issue so much as a filter issue.
1. Bypass your filter/treatment system. If you can run water straight from your well to a spigot, test the pressure without your treatment system in place, try filling a 5 gallon bucket. (Since you have a UV system in place, assume that you have bacteria present in your water so make sure you don't use it - and once you're done, run the water for awhile to clear the line)
2. If your pressure is good (I bet it will be), clean out your primary filter. Locate the first filter in your system and wash/rinse it out. Many systems employ a loose sediment filter which is little more than a cup with some kind of screen through which water passes, sediment does not. Shut down your water system at the fusebox, open a faucet to relieve water pressure, and then unscrew your filter. Clean it in your bucket. Be sure to only clean the first filter this way b/c you don't want to potentially contaminate your R/O filter.
3. Put it all back together and then run the water for a while, especially to the spigot that you tested with untreated water. Best of luck.

What's The Job Function Of Submersible Pumps?

Have you ever wondered how in the world a lake or pond gets pumped out? Ever give any thought to how oil is pulled from under the ocean floor and pumped up to the surface to be refined? There are so many things that we hear about but never really stop and give pause to. Until one of my good friends came by the house the other day after work, I'd really never thought about it either. I know I'd heard of submersible pumps but that's about the extent of my knowledge on the subject. I knew they existed.

So my childhood friend had just left the job site where his company was doing some work and he dropped by, covered in a really nasty smelling substance. When I opened the door he immediately apologized. I asked him what he had been doing.

He told me he'd been working in the bottom of a well. I told him my well didn't smell like him, thankfully. He said it was a sewer well. This perplexed me, I was concerned that perhaps there were things going on in wells that I didn't understand.

Since I drink a lot of water, I decided to ask my friend exactly what he was talking about. I was quite relieved to know that there are different kinds of well for different kinds of water and other fluids. He talked about submersible pumps and how they get everything moving around. I asked him what this meant and he explained how when you try to drain fluids, whether to completely extract them from an area or to clean and filter them, you need to go down underneath of the fluid in order to do a proper job.

If you try to go from the side or from above, the suction won't be enough to get to all of the fluid. You'll end up with some fluids rising to the top but many of them will continue to go around on the bottom. I can see where this would definitely be a problem. If you've got problems with oil, water, sewage, you name it, the only way to get it taken care of is from underneath the surface. This is what submersible pumps are used for.

He was in a sewage well that day. He was telling me how the pipes that fed into the well had quit working properly so they needed to drain the entire well. They did so with the use of a pump.

Then they cleaned the well thoroughly and removed all deposits and yes, I mean all deposits and had to temporarily close up the pipes so that nothing else came out. As soon as they were done making all necessary repairs, it was imperative to test the pipes. Unfortunately for my friend, he had to stay in the well when this took place. He said without the pump working, he'd have been left in hot water. Well, not really hot water and not really water, but I think you get the point.

When you need to remove fluid or clean fluids from any container, your best bet at getting everything is to use submersible pumps.
