over the past few weeks I have woken up to find that my pump is not
working. I then go to my electrical panel, turn off the breaker for the
pump for a minute or two, and then turn it back on. I can then hear the
pump kick in and my water pressure returns. I wonder if anyone has any
ideas what might be causing it to do this?


Thanks very much.

How old is the pump? Probably it needs to be cleaned. Mine did this
when it was on its death bed.


Despite the 6-year old only, that's what it sounds like to me, too. Do
you have a pressure tank or is it direct charge system? Sounds like the
toilet may be running and over a period of time stressing the pump
on/off cycle. Very similar symptom w/ ours when it was in the process
of failing pump motor bearings--on occasion would kick the breakers
starting...for some months a reset would work, then finally one day it
didn't.
