Been trying to figure out why I'm having low pressure issues this year with my sprinkler system, never have in the past. Noticed pressure was down to 25psi or so while a couple zones were running.
So was doing a GPM test by filling a bucket from a full tank till the pump kicks on and then timing the cycle.
My pump kicked in at ~35psi (my switch is a 40/60 switch). I just recently checked my tank pressure while empty and it was at 38psi (I plan on rechecking it tonight as well).
Shouldn't the pump kick in at ~40psi and not 35? Should I adjust the switch to bring it back up to 40? The switch is relatively new, maybe 2 years old. Would this cause low pressure issues in sprinkler system?
