pump will not stay running


Question
I have a meyers pump with a 2 gallon bladder , have been trying to prime it for days now. it seems as though it will pump as long as i physically hold the contactors closed but when i turn the water on it lets out what is in the bladder then turns off   .can u help?

Answer
There are a whole lot of reasons that you could be having this problem.  It sounds like you may have a problem with the well pipe, or the foot valve on the very end of the well line.  But it could be that the contactor is shot, and needs to be replaced.  I recommend that you consult with a local well service person.  This could save you a lot of grief.
