I have a couple issues here:1) Loss of water pressure 2) Pressure Guage Not Working
I have a jet pump with a 30/50 pressure switch. In the past the pump would run on a 20/40 cycle, not 30/50 like the swich was manufactured to do. Of late the pump seemed to run alot more frequent, so after checking i noticed that the guage was sticking at 40lbs.
I replaced the guage tonight and now it won't register at all. THe pump runs, builds up the required pressure and then shuts off, but the dial shows 0. I put the old dial back on and now that only shows zero as well.
Regarding the pressure lost- I've noticed that while in the shower, once the pressure drops, the water trickles out of the shower so bad that the shower squeals, until the pump runs and builds up pressure. In the past, you never noticed a pressure drop prior to the pump running.
