My pump's pressure is pegged, and I have tried to reduce the pressure by unscrewing nuts that are on top of springs that regulate the pressure. I was never able to figure it out. That was months ago, and today the well just stopped working all together. When I turn the faucet on, the pump will not turn on and no water comes out. I would like help on how to fix it, or even who do I call to fix it? A plumber? I think this should be something simple that I can do by myself, I just need some guidance.
The pressure switch tells the pump when to come on and when to shut off. The switch has two springs with adjusting nuts on top of both. The tallest spring is for adjusting the pressure for when the pump should come on.The more you tighten down on the spring the higher the pressure. The other spring is for the differential between the cut in pressure and the cut off pressure. Usually there is a 20 lb. difference. If you were to go buy a new switch. It would be factory set. Usually 20/40 or 30/50. With the new switch installed and the cover off you can see the contacts on the switch close and the pump should come on.
There are other problems you may have with the pump. If you don't feel comfortable call a professional. Look in the yellow pages and you should be able to locate someone who can help.
Demonstration of the Brumby Pump by the Health Ranger in Vilcabamba, Ecuador. This device pumps water out of a well by using compressed air ...
this is a well used for sprinklers, The pump keeps tripping the breakers. I want to check the pump, how do I get it out of the well?
I have disconnected electrical, and removed four bolts from a split ring on top , and disconnected the union fitting. everything is loose but it will not lift out.
This is probably a shallow well, and I assume your pump is in the well.... if so, there is a pipe that comes out of the top of the well head. If it is threaded to the next piece that runs off to the side, you can simply unthread it... if its glued, then you'll have to cut the pipe, and glue a union back in place later. Turn off the breaker to the pump before starting to work on this. Be sure to keep a grip on the pipe that goes down into the well, hehehe... I usually clamp a cross piece of scrap to this section to prevent it from falling down into the well.
Once that pipe has been cut or unthreaded, you should be albe to lift the well cap. You'll most likely find that there is a chain, rope, or cable attached to the underside, that runs from the cap to the pump. This is just to give it some added support....there may not be a chain, rope, or cable, if this is a small pump. Now, just start hauling up on the pipe.... an extra pair of hands helps, hehehe... stretch it out across the yard, til you pull the pump out. Keep an eye on the wiring as you pull it up, most often the problem in this type of malfunction is a bare wire...often because it was rubbed bare by rubbing against something.
Have Fun
Additional -- If you absolutely cannot pull it up... then I'd say the well casing has broken, and youve had a 'cave in'....debris from around the broken casing has fallen in on top of the pump. If so, then youre probably going to have to redrill the well.
Good Luck

Extreme residential rainwater harvesting | MNN - Mother Nature Network
It may seem excessive but self-sufficient Block isn’t just tending to an ordinary residential garden. His goal is to completely irrigate, for an entire year, an acre of land at his Monte Sereno, California, home that he uses for food production. Block hopes to collect enough rainwater during rainy season with his system of four giant holding tanks and special gutters so that using non-rainwater on his crops isn’t even an option during the rest of the year. Block’s rainwater system was made by Gutterglove and Rain Harvesting Systems to the tune of $29,000. If you had the money, physical space, and didn’t mind the aesthetics of giant tanks on your property, would you install a similarly massive rainwater collection system for use around the lawn and garden and possibly in the home?
Approximately the same amount of water (50 GPD) can be collected from a large residential air conditioner, without the need to filter and have massive storage. Current central air conditioners with efficiencies of 16-18 SEER, produce up to 5 gallons of water per ton, per day, and condensate is produced on both cooling and heating cycles, year round. Air conditioner condensate is available every day, not just if it rains, and therefore does not require huge storage tanks and can be used as required. The installation of condensate reclaiming equipment can be completed by most homeowners for under $1000. Why not collect the water "before it falls"?
