This problem has been going on for some time and i think it has gotten worse. It's a submersible pump and water will flow right up the wires into the electrical box. The pump struggles to reach 60psi in the pressure tank so i lowered it, but now it seems to struggle to hit 55psi. It holds pressure fine once it reaches the cut off. Is this as simple as a fitting leaking on the drop pipe? I'm guessing it must be filling the casing up with water for it to come out the top like that, but it will start leaking out the top right when the pump kicks on and then taper off to just a trickle while the pump is filling the tank. No water leaks when the pump isn't running. I'm in central florida by the way.
