It sounds like your tank is water logged. You need an air head at the top of
the tank, this air compresses and evens out the pressure as the on/off
cycles through. One solution is to drain the tank then pump up the tank to
20-30 pounds, then turn the water pump back on and see if this solves it.
Another thing to consider is a holding tank with a bladder then this
shouldn't happen..

Good luck, Rich

We have a deep well with a tank in the garage. If the water is
running, the pump runs for about 1 second then cuts off for about 2
seconds, and repeats. Is this normal?

Recently it seems that if any water is running, the pressure elsewhere
is a lot lower than it used to be.

Is there a problem with the water system, and can we fix it?
