So I've had some recent water pressure problems so I took a look at the pressure tank and here are the numbers I get:
Pressure tank (has air in it but no guarantee there isn't some water) is at 48psi, it is a well-rite 20gallon wr60r tank
Well pump kicks on at 30psi and off at 50psi (and with no load it gets there rapidly, less than a minute)
Now ... when I was running the hose down stairs where the tank is (was just convenient), and had it wide open, when the pump kicked on the pressure fluctuated wildly between 15-30psi and didn't seem to go lower or higher. The pump does not short cycle (it remains running), we do not get air bubbles with the water,
Ideas ?
