Of late, I've been noting that our pressure tank has been kicking in when no water is being used or has been used for quite a while.
We have well water with a pressure tank set at 30-50.
This morning I had closed the main valve between the pressure tank and the rest of the house and noted that over the course of 4 hours the pressure dropped from 50 psi to 40 psi.
Is this indicative of a bad pressure tank?
I had thought that on one cycle that I happened to have been watching the needle dropped down to 20 psi before cutting in. However, I watched the next cycle and it worked the way it was supposed to, kicking in at 30 psi, so I was unsure if I had read it wrong.
