I am currently trying to install a pump and small pressure tank to use with an RV. I thought I knew what was going on, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I have everything connected but it seems like the pressure tank isn't doing anything at all. It doesn't feel like there is any water in the tank and as soon as you open the faucet the pump comes on.
What could be happening? Did I mess up the pre-charge, would that cause this issue? I thought I got this right but probably didn't. My pressure cutoff switch is part of the pump. The first issue I had is that the pump is not new so I have no idea what the pressure is set at. I tried to find out by capping off the plumbing before connecting the pressure tank, but I'm not sure I did this right. Is there any way for me to figure out the pressure? I'm including a picture of the plumbing for reference.
