Just installed a new bladder tank on my home system. I have adjusted the pressure switch for cut in a 40 psi and shut off ~ 62 psi. Inline on the 1" supply line I have a flow control valve, the pressure switch, a GE large capacity whole house filter, and last the tank. The pump cuts in and off at the exact settings, but immediately after shut off, the gage pressure drops back down to the 50's. Could it be that the filter is restricting the real pressure that the switch is seeing? If so should I adjust the switch up until a higher static pressure is realized, or replace the filter with a less restrictive one. (I had a paper type filter until this downtime, and replaced it with a carbon type filter which I believe is more restrictive.)
