Gauge was 75- 80 this morning. Tattle-tale still showed 115 as the spike.

BFP came with the house. I didn't even know we had one until I started reading about this stuff. It's not a big one with turn valves, just the kind that looks like a big fat coupling. Our static pressure seems to have settled at around 64. Will check again in the morning.

Could I try just the tank first, and watch my pressure? Not worry about a prv unless it goes over... X? Also, just want to confirm, you guys are saying for calculating tank size, I use my static pressure, not what it spikes at, right? Our Home Depot has the Watts tanks (PLT-5, PLT-12...).

Now back to 62.

My gauge does have a tattle-tale and it's showing 115. The regular needle is now at 100 (we ran some things to make the HW heater come on, and it must have been running for a while.) I will leave it on for 24 hours and see what happens overnight.

The T&P valve on our HW heater starting leaking, so I replaced it, and new one still leaks. Getting about 6-8 oz of water every other day, sometimes every day. Checked my system pressure and am getting around 74psi when HW heater is not running, but 100-115 psi when it has been running for...

We have an Air Ease Ultra80 oil furnace. (combo forced air heat/AC system). Model # LUF80A112/125D20-2 A Last summer I installed a LUX programmable thermostat (TX9100E). Had no issues with cooling in summer. Now that the heat is coming on, I noticed the furnace is cycling differently...
