Hey everyone just wanted to give an update in case others find this thread facing the same issues. I was able to drain the tank and pump back it up and it seemed to have fixed the quick cycle issue. I couldn't get the PSI to hit 40/60 exactly so will need to spend some more time tinkering with...

Thank you for this detailed reply! I will try loosening the small nut first, but will need to get an air pump and pressure gauge to do the second part. After that, it should solve the quick cycling? And what else could be causing low pressure (both hot and cold) on only one faucet in the...

Oh yes sorry I read your reply too fast. I will try to adjust it to the standard 20psi spread

Thanks, it seems that it is currently at a 25psi spread (45-70). Increasing the spread further to 30psi will reduce the needle bouncing and water hammering?

Thanks, I will look into installing a CSV—it does sound like a worth upgrade. Does rapid cycling always indicate a bad bladder? Because I did the schrader valve test and only air came out, no water. And why would a bad bladder only cause low pressure in 1 faucet in the house?

Hi all, i'm new here and this is my first time owning a house with a well. Is the gauge on the pressure tank supposed to go in between 45 and 70 psi back and forth as water is being used? (video: ) Is this called short cycling? There is also clicking sounds and vibrations when it hits 70psi...
