Would appreciate someone out there who could give me an answer. Here is my situation:
1. Shallow well ~20-25 ft deep (I didn't dig it - was here when I bought the house) - used to water lawn & flowers
2. 1.5 HP Flotec Sprinkler Pump
3. Square D Pumptrol 20/40psi
4. Flotec 82 Gal bladder tank - charged to ~52psi
I do not know how to set the pressure. I cannot read the schematic on the inside of my Pumptrol - it is faded. I checked the Square D website hoping they would have a schematic but I couldn't find one. I turned the two adjustment nuts (trial & error) until the pump quits running when I shut the faucet and starts again when I open a faucet - but I really don't know what I'm doing...
Bottom line: How do I adjust the pressure properly? Do I have too much pressure in the air tank?
