OK neighbour is 'upset'. Trouble was foot valve(pump was cycling on-off a lot..), we FOUND the well, he replaces the foot valve( 80'down, 40' water),turns pump back on, prime, purge, can't get more than 30#s and it shuts off. had been 40#s for years.... Replaces the deep well jet pump, SAME problem not enough pressure, adjusts 'flow ? ' nut ?? whatever you call it, no NO water, even after priming, etc.

Any words of wisdom ??

Hints for happiness ??
