Hi all. I have a few year old WellXTroll WX250 and a 40/60 switch. My submersible pump was short cycling so I did some simple tests of shutting the pump off, draining the tank and checking the pressure. It was at 60+. And when I drained the tank, it took about 30 seconds, so there's no way it was "full". I let air out until it was about 38psi. Everything seemed good and it no longer short cycled. But after a day it starts doing it again. So I rinse and repeat, same results. Tank over charges again after some use. We did recently have my pump replaced (two weeks ago) and we had alot of sediment when everything got stirred up. Could this be a clogged pressure switch or is there air getting in the tank somehow or something else building pressure?
Thx
