As the title says on my new 2500 gal storage tank install the booster pump cycles on and off every second.
Here is a picture of my plumbing setup.
Thanks for any ideas.

If you move the pressure switch very close to the pressure tank, where the gauges are, the cycling will stop.

You could put a tee on the gauge nipple, and have both devices mounted. If you are tempted to use galvanized, don't. Use brass instead of galvanized.
