Getting water for 15 minutes only with a borewell 320 ft deep and 2 hp motor - Need help to solve this problem

Hello Everyone,

When I constructed my house in Thyagaraj nagar, Bangalore, we had a borewell dug and got water at the 160 ft and we went till 320ft. After one week  we put a pump and submersible motor(suguna 2 hp 20 stage) for 300 ft pipe and cable. We are getting a water exactly for 15 minutes and it stops. Again after 4-6 hours gap, if we switch on the motor again we will get water for 15 minutes only.

We have been suggested to put the pipe upto 285 ft instead of 300ft (cutting the 15 ft) and try, but still we are receiving the water for 15 minutes only.

My question:

  • Whether motor 2 hp is a problem (do I need to put 1.5 hp motor) ?
  • At least if we get 30 minutes of water it will be good. What is the solution to overcome this problem ?
