Maintaining well pressure
I am a recent owner of a well water system. I have learned to turn the pumptrol lever to off and then move until it makes contact and hold. The pump comes on and I continue to hold until I am past 20 on the gauge. I then release and it goes to automatic. The pressure continues to rise to about 40 and holds until I use water. The water pressure is fine at first but then goes to zero and the pump does not turn back on. Am I doing something wrong or is the pumptrol faulty? Thanks for help
