    I hope the well company didn’t charge you anything. They are not much of a well company if they couldn’t figure it out. If the pump build pressure up to 40 psi and shuts off and then the pressure starts to drop, the pump should kick back on at 20 PSI. If it doesn’t, it sounds like the pressure switch is bad. When you primed it, did water fill up the pipe in the well completely, cause if it did then it’s not the foot valve. If you don’t have much experience working on well pumps, I would recommend calling a different well pump company because it really could be a number of things which would be difficult to diagnose without actually being on site.

    replace the pressure valve and the charge tank.
