I have a 210' low yield well that fills an underground cistern, which is then piped to my jet pump and pressure tank in my crawlspace. I began noticing that when no water was being used, the pump was cycling every 2-3 hours (I can hear it). First thing I noticed is that when the pump starts up to fill the pressure tank, it shuts off at 41 psi, is this very low? I'm not sure of what psi the pump kicks on. After 90 minutes, it had dropped to 34 psi with no water being used.
No leaks inside the house, toilet are not leaking or running. Foot valve in cistern is less than a year old.
Does this sound like a bad check valve or possibly something wrong with the pressure tank? I've put a call into the well company that setup this system but they can be slow to come out.
