Hello,

my issue is i dont have a shutoff valve for the water inlet from the well before the pressure gauge. I need to change the pressure gauge as u can see. Also below the gauge is a female opening with a screwin plug that says 75 psi. It is dripping a very small amount at timees i noticed which then i loomed at the gauge as well. Any information helpful. Thank you.

The check valve located directly right of the pressure gauge, should not be there. The only check valve that is to be in the system, is the check valve that is internal to the submersible pump located down in the well.

Is that suppose to leak water? I got a slow to very slow water from it.
When water leaks from a 75 PSI relief valve it usually means the pump didn't shut off at 60 as it should. Pressure gauge pegged also means same thing. Probably need a new pressure switch and clean the nipple to the pressure switch. The check valve should be removed as was said, and that would be where you can install a CSV1A that would solve a lot of problems.
