Okay this might be a dumb question, but I’m trying to diagnose a failing pressure tank. Empty, it should be 2psi below pressure switch cut in.
When the pump finishing cycling and nothing is using water, it should be pretty close to pressure switch cut off pressure, no? Maybe a psi or two loss due to lines, etc?
Just checked mine yesterday and it was 0 psi. So I aired it up, but it’s probably toast. It should still fill with water and get up to pressure though right? It will then also supply pressure until it drops to cut in pressure before the pump turns back on? Just a much shorter cycle time vs a properly working pressure tank?
Any reason I’d get horrible pressure at the tap and the pump wouldn’t turn back on? Clogged filter after the tank before the tap?
