4 years a go i replaced my 1/2 hp shallow well ( 65 feet ) pump with a 3/4 hp ( it was only thing available on a Sunday evening.. I also replaced my expansion tank at the same time. Recently my bladder ruptured so i replaced the tank AND switch. New tank is a 44 gallon switch is a 30/60. My empty tank pressure was set to -2 llb's below the total pressure. Approx 37 psi according to the instructions. With that being said,,, my pump cycles with only a toilet flush. Could i have reversed the wires on the switch?

Help!

well, unless your toilet uses 15 gallons when it flushes... you got something else going on.
