Newbie here... I've lived in my house for about 5 years. Never had well water before. My wife and I have always been on public, but since onwing the home, always noticed that the pressure has always been low. While taking showers we can always feel the pump and pressure kick in typically after a minute or less of showering. The higher pressure typically only lasts for less than a minute as well. From my understanding the submersible pump is fairly new though. I currently have a Wellmate WM-9. The date handwritten on the tank is June 1993. I'm assuming that's when it was installed. The T-set looks to be a bit old and coroted as well. My pressure gauge is not working. I'm looking to replace the tank with a new WM-9 and a new T-set with new pump switch, guage, etc... I'm not sure what switch I should purchase, 30/50 or 40/60, as I don't know what I currently have. Is one recommended over the other? Just a few other questions. Is it normal to really notice a difference in water pressure when showering, do dishes etc? How long should I expect the pressure tank, switch etc, to last? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
