I have a submersible pump system with a pressure tank setup. It is inside a septic tank type concrete box outside ( buried). I had the pressure switch replaced about a year ago, and the pressure was fine for awhile. It has slowly gotten worse. I climbed down in there today to see what the settings are, and if the gauge is correct, cutoff was about45. It's a 30/50 switch. I noticed an air leak type sound when I climbed down inside the tank. It is dry in there, so i was wondering if it could be the valve( looks like a releif valve) mounted on the pipe close to the gauge. If is was the bladder, wouln't it just deflate and I'd have no water?( and I turned the switch up to see what would happen, and the pressure is fine now, but have I created more trouble for myself?
