We had a new well sunk in Jan of ’20.
Since then, I added a whole house filtration system because I noticed an increase in sediment from the new well. Everything has seemed to settle down and when changing filters now, I see little to no sediment.
I did start getting a a water hammer noise earlier this year and arrestors made now change (Separate thread).
Now (yesterday) I noticed the water drop off to a trickle when the washer was running. My wife said she noticed he sink faucet recently started doing that if anything else was running.
I went into the crawl space and the tank is pressurized at ~40PSI when the pump kicks on. They have the switch set to come on at 35 and shut off at 55. So, first thing I is why is tank pressurized higher than cut in? And second is why such an odd cut on/off setting? (20 gal tank)
Also, while tank is holding pressure, I watched the system gauge slowly bleed off ~2 psi every 5 mins.
So, is that a footer valve stuck open or the tank over pressure?
No check valve in crawl.
