I had a 40/60 well pressure switch leaking and swapped it out with this one.
Turned the water back on and noticed it was cutting on at about 42 psi and off at about 63 psi.
Additionally, I checked empty pressure tank psi and it's set to 38.
Wondering how accurate the campbell pressure gauges are; believe it's this one. I actually had the entire tank and switch/ gauge/ brass fitting assembly in front of it replaced only a few years ago but my water supply has a very large amount of iron and sediment in it. So I'm sure that might degrade things quicker.
Should I trust the reading on the gauge and adjust the switch screws to be 40/60 on the gauge? Or should I replace the gauge as well?
Is there a way to test the accuracy of the gauge?
Thanks
