I recently had a new pressure tank and soda ash system installed. Just now I noticed my hands were really slippery when washing dishes. I went down stairs to find the pressure gauge at 50psi and the soda ash system constantly pumping. It used about 5 gallons in probably an hour or so. I opened a few faucets to get it down to 40psi to see if it would go back up to 60psi. The pressure gauge went to about 30psi then back up to 40psi. It is now stuck at 40psi even though I'm using water. Edit: staying at 30psi right now with water running
So the soda ash system was constantly pumping even though the pressure switch wasn't on. The soda ash power comes from the pressure switch so it only turns on when the pump is pumping water into the pressure tank.
Does this sound like a bad pressure switch?
