Harvey, You need to put 38 lbs air in tank then set the pressure switch to come on at 40lbs. It should shut off around 60lbs. After you do this your problem should be solved unless you have another problem. Do you have a bladder type tank now?. Does it sound hollow or have a thud when you knock on it with your hand? A thud is bad. hollow is good. Thud means the bladder in the tank is bad. If you have an old galvanized tank I suggest getting a bladder 40gal type tank. Dale Peck LMP
