My first post.
We are losing water a bunch of times a day. We have a well about 220’. Pressure switch is 40/60 and p tank currently 37 PSI. I have drained it and the PSI holds. It cuts off at the 60 and cuts in at 40. But instead of heading back to 60 after clicking, it hovers around the 40 for a few seconds...then drops off completely. Every few minutes water tries flowing in and the gauge ‘flips’ up and down. It will do this for approx. 10 minutes before it finally starts filling the tank again. We will then have water for an hour then the same thing happens. The pressure switch is brand new. Pressure tank about 2 years old. What in the world is causing this.
