The life of a pump will depend on the following: -Quality of pump -Depth from which it is pumping -Amount of use -Number of cycles With normal use, a 1.5 HP pump in a 200 foot well will last about 10 years on average. Some pumps last five years and some last 25 years.

If your pump is providing water but just at a lower pressure, you could have a leak in the pump or somewhere in your water line system. If you have a shut-off valve at the pump, you can shut it off and see if the pump continues to run after building pressure. If the pump shuts off; you probably have a leak in your water system after the pump.

You can take a 5-gallon bucket and time how long it takes to fill up to determine the gallons per minute your pump is putting out. It is best to do this at an outdoor faucet with a short hose and as few restrictions as possible. The gallons per minute will depend upon pipe size, size of the pump, depth of the well, and a number of other factors. A 1.5 horsepower pump located at a depth of 200 feet with a 1.25-inch pipe will put out about 20 gallons per minute.
