you will need to hire a well driller to pull the pump out and check the foot valve on the bottom of the pump. If the fooot valve cant hold the water back you will loose prime on your pump. If your pump is above the ground ( like a jet pump or centifigal) make sure the check valve on the down stream side of the pump is holding. hope this answers your question.
First, is your pump in the well (below ground) or in the house (above ground). If it is in the ground, call a well service. If the pump is above ground, does it make a lot of noise when it runs and does it take a really long time to reach shut off pressure? If it does, you are probably sucking air through one or more joints on the well side of the pump. Make sure the pipe clamps are all tight. You might have to double clamp the joints. There is a black, stretchy tape that is used when re-installing well systems. This gets wrapped around the joints and the clamps are tightened over it. Also, your check valve might be broken or jammed open with debris or sand from the well its self.

You either have a leak on intake side of holding tank or your foot valve is bad.
