if your water tank is water logged the pump will kick on almost immediatly when the water tap is opened, and will kick off shortly after it is closed. Water cannot be compressed. The air inside the tank allows the pump to "catch up" and shut off while the water is in use, and allows for a steady flow of water at similar pressures.

How do you drain water logged well pump for house?
OK,I assume that your pump needs to be removed from the well and the pump and water line is full of water and heavy.I had the same problem and sorry to say there is no easy way.What you need to do is get a good grip on the water line leading into the well.You may have a nylon rope attached to the pump itself,dont pull on this it may break.Get a few of your stronger friends to pull up on the water line,pull together it will be heavy,until the pump is above the water level in the well.This will allow the water in the pump and the water line to drain out.Then it should come out with little effort.

This is certainly not a rule, but in my experience 100k miles is a good lifespan for a water pump.
