I just read one of your older posts and it might be like steve said in that it has junk on the walls of the well stopping it flow into the cavity as quick as it could, i imagine if your pump goes dry after six hours pumping through a one and a half inch pipe your pumps on the surface of a small table or its being restricted or its a pump problem or.. jeez it could be either of the three or another reason.
have you got a steel cable to haul the pump out? or can you lower it some more. whats the well diameter? 300 feet deep is pretty far down for filling ponds quickly either way.
your timer might be no good also. sometimes they get stuck and confuse you.
clunk the pump on without the timer and see if the water flow slows still and then get back to us.
