Greetings from Montana...
I was just playing with our well today. Somethings that I noticed...
1. Always seems to be enough water...
2. Pressure tank has 35 PSI of air in it.
3. Well pump comes on at 30 PSI and shuts off at about 47 PSI...
4. Flow rate reasonable.. I.e fills up things like the bathtub...washing machine in a reasonable amount of time...
The one thing that I think is odd is that I can place my thumb over an output orfice... garden hose, faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms and stop the water flow completely.... Is this normal with a well driven water system?
TIA
