    60 lb water pressure/well
    This is kind of a follow up on a recent post by jaxon-water pressure too high.
    After reading the responses it appears that the recommeded max pressure is 50lbs +/-. I have well water and use a 40/60 pressure switch. Obviously it doesn't stay at 60 since the pressure will vary as the water is used-but is 60 too high for this application? Use a 30/50 switch? The switch will kick off at 60 and then kind of settles at 55/56 lbs. All the plumbing is new as is the tank.

    I'll post this again.
    Hi Shader,
    50/60 PSI's acceptable. 80 PSI's too much. You're at the top end right now. Regards, tom
