Frequently Asked Questions / Re: Shallow well losing prime

I would not turn up the pressure. That pump will probably not be able to build that much pressure. Pumps do not normally loose prime when running unless there is a leak in the suction pipe. But 30 PSI is usually the number when there is something obstructing the jet nozzle in the pump.
If the pump is cycling while running the irrigation because the sprinklers are attached before the CSV, then it could be losing prime when it is shut down.
