    Pressure tank cycles and fills up from 30 psi to 60psi then drops to 40psi.
    Pressure tank cycles and fills up from 30 psi to 60psi then drops to 40psi. Doesn't hold the charge. Even though nothing is running. I replace the pressure switch and it works nicely for 6-8 months. Then the pressure dies and no matter how much I turn switch 1 and 2 it never helps. Does the bladder have a hole? Amperage? There is aluminum wiring.

    Help.

    Does it hold at 40 PSI? If this has a spring loaded check valve perhaps the spring has weakened. If it continues to drop replace the check valve. Good luck, Tom
