Recently replaced my well tank and pressure gauge. No problems there. Now the water cuts off completely for about 2 seconds intermittently. Forgot to mention that I have a submersible pump and plenty of water. Thanks

Double check the pressure at the top of the tank. First watch your pressure gauge as water is used. As pressure falls, you will hear a "click" when the switch cuts the pump back on. That is the cut in pressure. Let's say it is, for example, 30#. Now turn off the power and drain the system through a low level, outside faucet until pressure is zero. Now set the pressure at the top of the tank to 2# BELOW your cut in pressure. In our example, it would be set to 28#. Turn the power back on and see if that helps.
