A well pump that turns on and off rapidly is short cycling, and it wears out fast. Here is the Glendora guide.
The pressure tank
A waterlogged pressure tank is the most common cause of short cycling.
The switch
A pressure switch that is set too tight or failing also causes it.
The fix
Check the tank's air charge and the switch settings.
