The pressure relief valve at my well was running a stream of water, so I replaced it with a new one (75psi). All went well for a day, then I noticed a small stream of water exiting the new pressure relief valve.
I just recently replaced the pressure switch at the storage tank (inside the house). It's factory set for 40-60 psi.
Is it just a matter of having too much pressure in the line? Am I missing something? I have adjusted the pressure switch down to 50psi and still get a small stream of water coming out of the PRT.
The well is uphill from the water tank and pressure switch, and we recently had the well tested for flow. (We are selling the house.) We started having these problems after the well test. (Malfunctioning pressure switch and pressure relief valve.)
How do I stop the dribble out of the pressure relief valve?
Any advice is appreciated.
