Good evening. I have a submersible pump and wanted to up the pressure to 40/60 so I drained the system, put 38lbs of air in the bladder, adjusted the tall "off" nut to raise the off pressure, cycled pump. It shuts off at 60 but no matter what I do after the pump shuts off and I open a faucet, the gauge eventually drops to 35, then drops instantly to zero before the pump cuts on which at that time the gauge jumps back to 35 where it starts raising back to 60. I've taken apart the switch, cleaned the nipple but no matter how I adjust the short screw it does not alter the 35 to zero back to 35 sequence.
Inside the house the pressure is fine but I can easily tell when the pump drops to zero.. if only for an instant there is a hiccup in the line pressure.
Thoughts? New gauge, Lobotomy?
