Is your pump in the well or above ground?

By there being no switch on the tank, I am assuming you mean there is no cut-off switch. There would have to be a pressure switch very near the tank which is supposed to turn the pump on/off according to the pressure in the tank.

Does the pump constantly run a minute or two, and then cut off, and then do this again, or does it only happen when water is turned on?

Is there a pressure gauge on this system? If so, what does it read?

"there is not switch on tank its sold pressurized" I'm confused too. There has to be a switch somewhere, otherwise, how does the pump come on and turn off? Please answer the above question about a gauge.
