This weekend I'm going to pull up the pipe just to make sure no hole

The symptom for a leak would be the pump would never shut off because
would never reach pressure...

Like I said in an earlier post.......They make pressure cut-off
switches that has a re-set lever, which he may have. Basically, if the
pump can't maintain a certain minmum pressure, the electric going to
the pump will be dis-connected. Therfore, the pump will not run and
burn-up. It protects the pump in addition to the cut-off that is built
inside the pump itself.

Since he said he uses the well for a heat pump that flows into a pond,
my first guess would be to make sure there is enough water to supply
both heat pump and house. Since warmer weather has approached most
areas, the heat pump may be using too much of the water.

Since I can't see which cut-off switch he has. I am only guessing.
