    PRV needed with expansion tank?

    I have an expansion tank between bladerless tank and house. Do I also need a pressure relief valve between well and tank? If so, does it matter if I put it at well head or on top of bladerless pressure tank?

    cut-in/cut-off pressure 20lbs differnece

    I am just wondering why it is always suggested to go in twenty lb increments, so as not to have too big of pressure difference? Also, I have a new square D pressure switch, supposedly pre-set at 30-50. Is it possibe that it is a little off, because the cut-off seems a little less than 50. thanks
