SUPER low well water pressure(but pump stays on) Please help!

Hello,

We just recently bought a house with a well and started having issues. The submersible pump is ALWAYS running but the water pressure only gets to 18.

I did follow the instructions on the sticky and replace the pressure switch as well as the gauge. The problem still exists. We have the pressure tank and the water filter left to tinker with, but I wanted to ask advice before I start switching things out.

What are some possible causes for constant pump running and very low pressure?

Thank you!!!!

PS. Since we just moved in, I'll answer these as best as possible.


It is around a 25-30 gallon pressure tank


Pressure Switch:
On 30, off 50


Water filer info:
Type of filter whirlpool
Bypass is there, but doesn't seem to work
Water Used For?
House Use YES Number of baths 2 Number of People 3
