Why does my well pump keep turning on and off?
This is called short cycling, and it is most often caused by a waterlogged pressure tank rather than a failing pump. When the tank loses its air cushion, the pump has to run far more frequently to maintain pressure, which wears it out faster. We check the tank before recommending a pump replacement, since this fix is usually much less expensive.
