Am having trouble getting the cut-in pressure low enough to match the cut-out pressure.
This is all new to me so any advice is appreciated greatly.
New system, Dayton 62 gal. tank and am looking for anything close to 40-60 or a bit less, which would allow for a 16-18 gal. drawdown.
There is 35 psi in the tank.
Just replaced the pressure switch.
Right now, with system down and tank empty, and several adjusting turns CCW, cut in pressure is around 48 and cut out is 58-60!
With system shut off and tank empty, the gauge reads 13psi.
Found this post, [below] (#6) from '09, stating that the gauge should read zero.
It takes the Dankoff Booster pump 1 min. 40 seconds to reach cut-out. Way too quickly and obviously is not holding many gallons of water.
The crazy thing is I had it running perfectly the first couple of days operating. The pump took about 4 minutes to reach cut-out.
Then I decided I should adjust it a little bit better...
WTH am I doing wrong? Is the air pressure at 13 psi when it should be zero part of this?
