    Pressure too high

    I drained the system and removed the switch with the tanks still full (pressure gauge was at 0). water shot upwards through the pipe when I removed the switch, a really strong stream so I thought that would remove any blockage, but I put it back together and the pressure still builds after...

    Pressure too high

    I don't know the pressure setting, but after watching it a few more times I think the valve is operating normally.

    How many amps can this panel handle?

    The panel pictured below is in my barn. It is fed with #2 aluminum wire. It currently has a double pole 60 amp breaker. I have been told I can add a double pole 30 amp breaker for a total of 90 amps. I just want to double check and make sure this is OK. I am aware of the issues with Zinsco...
