Hi guys, my water pressure is acting weird...
Everything will seem to work fine then the pressure at tap slowly declines til there’s nothing.
At first the pump would turn on after a few seconds but now about 2 weeks later the pump won’t turn on for about 3-5 min.
When the pump turns back on, instantly pressure would be restored (not low pressure building up steadily)
Today my wife was in shower and water turned off so I went to check pressure gauge, it still said 45 psi, but she had no water, I was about to tap the pressure switch tube with a screwdriver when the pump turned on by itself and she had water again.
Pressure built to 50psi, pump turned off then declined to about 45, then just stayed there even while the shower ran for a few more min. I closed the contacts manually, pump turned on but contacts did not hold.
Not sure what to do here couldn’t find the same issue on internet.
Please help,
Thank you
