Hello All,
I have just installed a new pressure tank and tank tee, and I am now having a (hopefully) minor issue.
When the pressure drops from water usage there is a small lag where it will suddenly drop 10-15psi below the cut-in pressure as the pump is kicking on.
I believe that it is just because I have my cut-in pressure too high (or equivalently my tank pressure is too low - needs a little additional air) but before I either adjusted to Pressure Switch slightly lower (more water volume between cycles = longer pumping cycles, at a slightly lower pressure) or adjusted my tank bladder slightly higher (slightly higher system pressure - slightly reduced water volume between cycles = shorter pumping cycles) I wanted to make sure that I was thinking this through correctly.
Please let me know that I am thinking this through correctly, and offer any helpful advice.
Cheers,
Fitch
