Last year I checked the pressure in my pressure tank (Water Pro WW32SS). It was low so I brought it up to 38psi. Everything seemed to be ok after that. I just noticed that my pressure switch was going from 40 to 60 in less than 2 seconds and then from 60 to 40 in about the same time. I drained the tank and checked the pressure. I wasn't getting a reading. I filled it back up to 38psi. Now the gauge goes slowly from 60 to about 55 then shoots down to 40 in a second. Then when filling back up, it shoots from 40 to 55 in a second and goes slowly from 55 to 60.
Does this sound like a bad pressure tank that needs to be replaced? It was new with the house, built in 2012.
I was also getting really bad sediment coming out of my faucets. Not as bad now but still not as clear as it was before I did this. I assume that will settle down. Could the sediment be rust from inside the tank caused my low pH (tested at 5.5)?
Well company is coming Friday to check the tank and get a water test to see what I need for filters (currently don't have any).
