Pressure Tank losing pressure

[nhmaster]

Since this started after power problems, I think you may be running the pump on half voltage. This would explain the pressure switch not "tripping" and also why it just sits at 52 PSI. Check the voltage to the motor.[/QUOTE]

I would buy that

OK sounds good. Where can I check this? I can't pull the pump out when it is operating or it will shut off, correct? There is a little breaker box above the tank, I believe the switch runs through this. I could check here when the switch is sending power to the pump, correct?

Yes! Check the wires going to the motor.

you can check any where you are able to use a meter...the closer to the pump the better...Try at the pressure switch that would be the best place to start and if you have an amp meter that will tell you a lot also...
