I have a well x trol wx-202, I have water but its very low water pressure. The pump cuts on at 30 psi and shuts off at about 60 psi, when I first turn on the faucet it has great pressure for about 20 seconds then it just goes to a slow trickle. I did shut the pump off and let it drain completely then turned it back on it filled up quickly so its not the well, but still the pressure is slow. Someone told me that I should put some air in the tank with an air compressor, is this the right way to fix my problem and if i do need to put air in the tank, how do i do it. should it be empty when I do or full and how much should I put in????
I just found a post about how to check the air so I'm doing that now to see if that is the problem, and I'm going to check the switch as well to see if its 30 and 50, instead of 30 and 60 because it looks like its supposed to be a 20 diff not 30. So I'm going to check the air and the switch, but still if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.....
yep, only has 15psi when empty, so I'm going to find a air compressor and get it up to 30psi and see if that fixes it... I will post if it does!!!! :->
