I had to replace a pressure switch on a 2-gallon pressure tank. I don't know what the pressure settings were on the faulty switch. The new switch (one I already had purchased for another purpose) was preset to 60/40. At that setting water pressure is much steadier, but the pump is cycling on and off rapidly and I know this is very bad for the pump. I know the best solution would be to get a larger pressure tank, but I can't install one right now.
So.... What is the best pressure setting to use for this small tank?
When the OLD switch was on the tank, I think the water pressure would get up to 60, but I know it fell much lower than 40 and the timing of the cycle, from high pressure to low, was longer... 45-60 seconds.
Thanks in advance for your help.
