Hello all expert plumbers,
Novice here. I have recently bought my first home. We have since started to settle in. I have noticed an issue with our pressure tank. The problem seems to be that when the pressure leaving the tank drops below 40psi the pressure drastically drops to about 30psi immediately and when the pump kicks on it jumps back up to 40psi. When this "surge" from 30-40 happens(very quickly) a loud hammering noise is heard. The pump continues to cycle correctly until the pressure reaches cut-off(around 51-52psi). No noise(except for normal clicking on the contacts on the pressure switch) is heard at cut-off. Is my pressure tank set too high?
If it helps any, the pressure tank and all plumbing in house was updated before I moved in and is all brand new. As the home is recently remodeled, I would be the first to ever use the system.
Any assistance would be greatly appriciated.
I can also provide video and pictures of the set up.
Thanks in advanced.
