John, after reading this all again I think Bus Driver is on the right track. I think the 2" pvc is actually just the well casing.

Is the 2" - 1 1/4" reducer really a reducer or is it an addaptor cover which the 1 1/4" pipe runs through and continues down to a given depth? I would be tempted to pull this open and find out.

I would then like to know what depth the water is at present (static). Is it close to the bottom of the suction pipe? Is there a crack in the suction pipe? And of course check the check valve again.

If this is indeed your set up, and there are no cracks in the PVC and the check valve was working, I would wonder if the water table has dropped for some reason (although this seems unlikley) and you are sucking your well dry or it is recharging slower than befor.

A low presure shut off is a good idea that somebody mentioned. Good luck. Let us know how it is working out.
