Any ideas or experience?
I specialize in well systems

This is a super common problem...you have an obvious leak in the well (basically it's like you have a faucet wide open in the well) which is not allowing you to build enough pressure to satisfy the pressure switch

It will need to be pulled and repaired asap before the leak is large enough and you get no pressure
