This seems to have started rather recently... when running any sink or shower, the water pressure will drop real low (water still comes out, but very low flow) for 5-10 seconds, then picks back up to normal again. Happens approximately every 5 minutes while water is running.
We're on well/septic with HT62B (62 gal) Water Worker pressure tank. Have water softener and water filters (I recently replaced the filter, but that didn't help).
I should mention the tank has a pressure gauge on it, showing 60 psi (just looking at it under normal use -- not when pump is disabled). The pressure tank is rated for 100PSI max normal pressure (125PSI test).
I also noticed there's a slight leak, as in feels wet to the touch, but no visible moving water, where the gauge is connected to the output from the pressure tank. I may gently tork this tighter with a wrench, if that seems a good idea.
Looking for any suggestions/advice on this.
Thanks.
