We had a 32gal pressured water tank and a 1/2 hp non-submersible pump. I think our well is approx 25 feet. Last week the bladder broke in the tank. My husband decided to increase our tank to a 82 gal and also installed a new 3/4 hp pump,along with a new check valve. The pressure switch came set for 30 and 50. However, the gauge reads the pump turns on at 28 and off at 48. (My husband thinks the gauge is not accurate and feels it is ok.) Our problem now is we are getting intervals of bursts of air through all of our faucets. It's interfering alot with doing laundry as the washing machine sounds like it's straining to fill, then we run around the house and open all the faucets and the water flows normally. Someone told us that the air in the line is normal for a while after installation, but I would think that after a little over a week that it would be functioning properly. Any suggestons would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. We have always been on city water until we bought this house 2 1/2 years ago, so we are really unfamiliar with all of this.
Thanks so much.
