Hello,

I have a well at my barn that works…but then the water stops sort of abruptly after about 2-3 minutes of running.

I was thinking that the issue is that the well hose has a tear in it near where the pump is, and once the water (approx 2-3 minutes worth) goes below the tear, pressure is nearly instantly lost and I don’t get water.

I have attached pictures of what my well looks like. I undid 2 of the bolts on one half of the well cap, and I was hoping I could just take half out to see if I could then see if the well “hose” was made of solid or flexible plastic or cast iron to confirm my hypothesis.

After undoing the 2 bolts I noticed that the hose was still pretty tight and the cap would not come off easily, so I put it back on because I was worried that if I took the cap off the whole hose would fall in and I’d be screwed.

Is the hose super heavy?…
