Hi,
We just installed a new pressure tank (44 gallon) as well as adjusted the pressure switch on 1/2 hp jet pump to ~30/50 from ~20/40. I took out air from pressure tank down to around 29-30 psi. We are getting much better times between cycles, however, whenever the pump cuts on, it takes ~5 mins to fill pressure tank. If we are using any water, the pump doesn't stop until the water is turned off. Now we've had it running for over 10 minutes twice now and I can smell a burning smell. The pump is luke warm to the touch, not hot at all. I feel there's something wrong buy am unable to diagnose as I'm not a plumber and can't find anything online about a pump running for that long before shutting off. Can anyone put me In the right direction of what may be going wrong, or should I call a plumber?
Thanks
