Hi,
I have a deep well submersible pump with iron pipe with a 30/50 Square D pressure switch on
a 13 year old Gould bladder tank. The problem occurs after the system reaches the cut out. A minute or
two later the pump turns back on and runs for less than a minute. It cuts off, then repeats
this behavior for three or four times. Then it seems all is well and working normal with regular cycling till
it reaches the next cut out. It always occurs at the cut out. Suspecting (or hoping) the pressure switch was bad, I replaced it, but the same pattern continues. I have checked the toilets,
but have not found any leaks. No water comes out of the bladder valve and it checks at 28 to 30 psi.
Can someone explain what is going on and what needs fixed. Thanks
