Well I just moved in to an old farm house. I'm having a problem with my psi going all the way up to about 85 PSI only when my submersible pump runs. Even though my psi switch shuts off at 60. (I even checked voltage to make sure it was off when the switch clicks at 60 and its completely dead to the pump side) I thought maybe my whole house filter was clogged and causing back pressure so I put a new one in, still getting same result. I also replaced my gauge, and 40/60 psi switch (just cuz its $30 and the other one was really old). I also drained all water and checked bladder psi in tank all seems good right at 38 psi. I figured I could add a pressure regulator if I really have to but I shouldn't need one. I know the plumbing to my pressure tank could be updated. (I don't think it has a check valve. I know it's missing a relief valve.) I planned on waiting to update the plumbing, when I get my kitchen remodel done. Any Ideas before I call a licensed plumber would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
