The plumber is downstairs right now.
He brought the new 1/2 pump mounted to the new 19 gallon bladder tank and hooked it up this morning.
Apart from a couple of minor leaks (he just is changing the plastic fittings to metal) the darn pressure won't go above 15 lb (preset to 20-40).
Lots of well water, new well line 25 feet to the well. We have no check valve in the feed line from the well, but it's so close and the well is only 5 feet deep.........We checked and reset the tank bladder to the recommended 18 lb pressure.
Blew the air out at all the taps, but even after, closing a valve so that it doesn't run into the house, the pressure mainly sits about 10-12 lbs. With the other system, if I closed that valve, the pressure would shoot to 60 lb in a sec or two.
Any suggestions???
Maybe these new fittings will make a difference, but I'm skeptical.
