I have a Flotec tank on a deep well pump water system and the pump is cycling too quickly. It only takes 1-2 seconds to go from the preset 30 to 50 psi. I replaced the pressure gauge checked out the switch - all OK. When testing the pressure on the tank - should'nt the pressure be 28-30 when the gauge reads 30psi? Mine reads 23-24. Is this the cycling problem?
This tank has been in service since '99. When its up to 50psi I dont get any drop in pressure 'till I turn on a faucet. If I have to add air - how should i do it, with no pressure in the tank or at the 30lb cut off. This setup was working well before. Is it possible for the tank to just loose pressure over time?
Thanks
Jack
