i recently reinstalled a water tank and pressure switch and the tank doesn't seem to be filling and i have hardly any water pressure. i only get good pressure when the pump kicks in. i also installed a check valve to see if that would do anything.
The first check has to be why the tank does not fill.
Where is that tank located? Low, high ?
How does the water reach the tank? By gravity or do you have a pump to fill the tank?
If it is the pump, does it work? How often, how long?
If you check the water inlet : what is the water pressure there? What causes the low flow of water into the tank?
Once the tank fills normally it becomes time to review the outgoing water pressure.
Why the checkvalve? And where is it located?
I'll keep an eye on this topic for your response and further reactions ! This poster's a troll
And would that ne a galvanized pressure tank or a smaller bladder tank? Why did you replace the tank and switch? Did ytou have the same problem before? Pleas furnish us withy more details. Tom
Sarnian, Go backand read the complaint. The asker already stated that he had a pump so half your questions have already been answered. You ask,"

and that's exactly wlhat the asker's asking. If he could tell you that he wouldn't be asking us. Stick around a watch how we do things on The Plumbing Page. Regards, Tom

So I understand that as the pump being in the outgoing line (the tank may than be located too low, or some valve may be partly blocked).
Speedball : why don't you address the question, but instead prefer to pee on me?
I asked lobstahunta73 for more details, and provided a checklist.
You may agree or disagree with that list, but it does not allow you to attack others replying here. You have no sole advice rights. You may be Senior Plumbing Expert. But you still have to learn a lot on morality and etiquette ! This poster's a troll

Nah!! I took you to task because you asked a question that the asker had already answered.

Now he already told you he had a pump when he said,

.
You then asked,

You're asking him? It goes like this. He asks us to tell him why he has a low flow.
the one question you should have asked but didn't was the type of tank he installed.
Once we knew that we could began to frame questions about the rest of his setup.
Like I said, stick around and see how we do things here. Regards and don't have such a thin skin. A little constructive criticism never hurt any one. Sorry if I ruffled your feathers, Tom
You really have a problem. Sorry to see that.
And I note that you all do that in lobstahunta73's topic.
Sad, really sad !
No further comment from my side here on you in this topic.
But I'll keep replying- if requested - to lobstahunta73.

Posted here in this reply by speedball - NOT by me (I just coloured it red) :
It's not the asker I'm attempting to educate Sarnian, but it's you who need To learn how and what to ask. My "problem" at the moment would seem to be you. Take it easy! Kick back and see how we do it around here.
Speedball : please keep to the topic question and to your own response to that, and we both will do fine.
Do not try to blame me for something that is incorrect at your side. This poster's a troll
lobstahunta73, Pay no attention to the "chit-chat" between experts. Once more, would that ne a galvanized pressure tank or a smaller bladder tank? Why did you replace the tank and switch? Did ytou have the same problem before?
Does the pressure build up when the pump is running but bleeds away after it shuts off? If that's so give a close look at the check vbalve you've installed. if were installed backwards that would give you the symptoms that you have. Let me know, regards, Tom
Turn out this guy was someone with a little chip on his shoulder...someone we have all seen at one time or another. If you care to know more click at the experts area...
