Over the past year the flow of water tapers off to almost nothing after about 15 minutes. This problem only happens while water the lawn or filling the spa tub. I went down in the crawl while running the garden hose.The pump in the crawl runs to about 50 psi kicks off and starts back up at 28psi. It will do this about 4times then pressure goes down to almost nothing.I unplug pump and pressure increases to about 20psi. I plug pump back in and operation returns to normal as long as I dont run hose or fill spa tub. I have had the pump disassmbled and checked. Pump ok. Sevaral people are telling me that the the well head could be partially pluged by calcium deposits. One guy suggested firing a 22 down the well pipe to shock the head. I dont think so. Is there any other solution to this problem other than diggindgup the well. We have alow table here Im told my well is about
