Few weeks ago I had to replace the pressure switch on our water pump because it would run around 120PSI non-stop.
So I installed the new pressure switch (40/60). I set it to turn on at
40PSI and shut off at 60PSI.Now, when someone is on the shower, washing machine filling up, toilet flushed, etc, the pump runs for 5 seconds till it reaches 60PSI, then it shuts off. Pressure quickly falls to below 40PSI and it comes back on for another 5 seconds, shuts off at 60PSI. Quickly goes down to below 40PSI and turns back on. Repeating this over and over and over.
I know I have set it to do this, so it may seem crazy to ask if this is the proper way this should work? It actually seems to be working perfectly, on at 40, off at 60. But the constant on/off/on/off/on/off/ on/off/on for several minutes straight just doesn't feel right to me.
Is it running right or do I have some sort of problem with the holding tank?
Thanks
