We have a shallow jet pump with a captive air tank system (40/60psi). We get very low water pressure (dribbles) while I watch the pressure guage run down toward 40. When it reaches 40, the pump kicks on and we have great pressure (though the guage reads near 75psi when it kicks off -- higher than the 60 the pump is set for).
Sounds like a pressure switch, right? If so, then the pressure guage on top of the pump must have coincidentally gone, too, since it reads 40psi when the pump kicks in.
Or would some kind of blockage somewhere cause these problems (before I start ripping in and replacing parts)?
Thanks in advance,
Kirk
