Is this expected behavior?
System is an above ground 1HP pump, with new pressure gauge, into a new Amtrol wx203 bladder tank. Tank pressure is 38 when empty. Pump set to 40/60.
When pressure gauge on pump hits 40, it then shows a rapid (5-8 second ) drop to about 20psi, at which point pump kicks on. Gauge then jumps (instantly) to about 40, and pump runs a few minutes to 60, at which point it turns off.
Is the rapid drop I see on the gauge from 40-20 normal? I don't see any interruptions in water flow from fixtures.
Thanks for any advice.
