I have recently had problems with my shallow well. I had no water so I replaced the screen, ran new line from the well to the house and replaced the pump. I am still having problems. I had water and then it quit again. I tried another pump and that is not the problem. When I take a garden pump out to the well and hook it up direct the water works fine, but not in the house. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

You will have to be more specific.
I put in a post in the first sticky (http://forum.doityourself.com/wells-sump-pumps-septic-sewage-systems/365092-pump-cycling-water-logged-other-well-info.html)

that describes what a normal pump cycle is supposed to look like.
