We have a well with with bladder tank, full house water filter, and water softner. The pressure switch corroded, was leaking baddly, and I replaced it 2 weeks ago. I checked the bladder tank pressure when it was empty, and it was at 32psi so I assumed the old switch cut in pressure was approx 34 psi. I adjusted the cut in pressure to 34 psi opened the valves and all seemed fine. No leaks, good pressure, etc, but now when our water filter regenerates every 2 days at 2 a.m. pressure drops to zero and the pump doesn't kick on. I get up every 2 days now and manually start the pump for a few seconds to get the pressure to build. I've checked the water filter to bleed any access air but sure what to do at this point or why the pressure drops so low the pump won't come on. FYI, I can turn on the outside faucet full open les than 10 feet from the tank and it will run forever without running out of pressure. I assume I have done something incorrectly but don't have a clue what it is.
