Hi, I have a quick question.
I just replaced my bladder and it has stopped my pump from kicking on and off every few seconds.
My question has to do with the pressure switch setting. I also replaced that as the old one was quite corroded and had dead frogs and lizards and stuff in it. But, I digress. I believe that the old pressure switch was set to 20/40. When I talk to my water treatment guy, who doesn't claim to be a well man but works around them a lot, tells me he's never heard of anyone using 20/40 and suggested I set it to 40/60. It came set at 30/50 so I left it there and when I installed my new bladder I set the pressure in it to 28lbs.
The real question is wether or not setting the pressure up the 10lbs can have a negative impact on my pump? It seems like it takes it a little while, 20-30 seconds to get it up to 50 after the water is shut off. It's an above ground jet pump if that's significant in any way. Just wanna make sure I'm not going to ruin my pump is all.
Thank you.
Wayne
