Hey folks
I'd appreciate some advise.
My well tank:
WELL-X-TROL well tank
Brand: Amtol
Model: WX-203
Serial: P2334994
Tank Volume: 32 Gallons
my pressure switch has a sticker inside of it that reads 30/50
Everything seems to work fine.
It's just that I have never EVER, checked the air pressure in the well tank and thought, after watching some you tube videos, that it sounded like a smart and easy thing to do.
My goal is to drain the water, then ensure that I have 28 lbs of air pressure inside the tank before re-filling it.
However, when I empty the tank, my gauge still shows 20 Lbs.
I have watched some you tube videos where this happens (their videos show their gauge at 20 when the tank is empty) but they never mention it as if it is an issue.
Most You Tube videos, show the gauges with a value of "0" when the tank has been emptied of water.
So, what the heck might be going on with my gauge\well tank, do you think ?
This procedure "seemed" like an easy one to perform (especially for a newbe like me.).
But, now I'm very confused.
Advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
