    pressure gauge finally reading 60, but the tank is reading 60

    And by the way, insults I suspect are not desirable on this forum, as with other forums. You don't have any idea what I have or haven't done. Saying I don't know what I am doing, is an offensive remark, and I would appreciate replies from other forum members. Thank you though, for your input.

    Thanks, and no I didnt fiddle with the nuts.AFTER I drained the tank, I set the pressure at 38, since my switch is a 40/60. THEN it it started increasing and/or decreasing. Is that clear?

    both are going up at the same time, and when I decrease the pressure in the tank, the pressure gauge also goes down. BTW--I am crossreading on three different bicycle-car tire pressure gauges--all three are saying the same. Does this mean it's gotta be the bladder?

    hole in pipe sounds feasible, but how in the heck do I find a hole if the pipe is buried--if it is PVC--is that even possible?

    nippple blocked? When I replaced the switch, I didnt notice a nipple----I screwed the switch right on to the pipe------there was an extra piece ( a little brass fitting with a tiny tube) inthe box--that what you mean?

    Hey pros, etc. My water pressure went to zero the other day, and I found that the control box was old, very rusty and funky as was the pressure switch. Replaced both, and had water for a week.......last night after the water softener was worked on we woke up to no water. So after the obligatory...
