We have two pressure tanks in our system. The first is connected directly to the well, in the basement of our house. The pipes running out of the house feed a separate shop building that also has a pressure tank.
The well switch is set to 40/60 using the pressure gauge on the inside tank. For reasons I don't understand, the pressure tank in the shop fills up to about 65 PSI when the well pump switch shuts off. That pressure tank also only drops to 54 PSI or so before the well pump switch cuts back on.
Right now I have 37 PSI of air in both tanks. I am wondering whether I should bump the second tank up to 51 PSI or so, since that would be 3 PSI below the lowest pressure that tank ever sees?
Thanks!
