Recently purchased a house first time on well and septic so I'm still learning. Water pressure is very inconsistent, while showering the pressure gets very low then you can feel pump kick on and it gets very high. I have a welxtrol bladder tank then a Morton softener that is all I have far as filtration and what not. Went to check the pressure in the bladder tank and here is where my question is. The tank is a 30-50psi tank, the switch seems to be working properly as pump kicks on at 30 and off at 50. I bypassed the softener, turned off pump and drain the system. With the tank empty it is nice and light no water inside but the psi was at 17 whereas I believe it should be at 28, I was told it should be 2 below your cut in pressure. So I fill it up to 28 restart everything and there is literally no water pressure I can only run one fixture at a time. If I empty again and take psi back down to 17 everything is back to "normal". No idea why the thing works better at 17 than it does at 28 which is where I believe it should be. tank is an Amtrol WX-202 20 gal.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong or where to begin troubleshooting?
