    WellSaver Pressure Tank Instructions?
    Pump turns on at 40 off at 60 but if you use 2 faucets one has very little pressure

    Sounds like your pressure tank is doing its job. May be a problem with the faucet that has low pressure. Have you checked the aerator on the fuacet with low pressure? Oh, and how long between the pressure switch kicking in and out.

    Okay, so it sounds like the pressure tank is indeed doing its job. Now it sounds more like a volume problem rather than a pressure problem. Do you have a house filter or water softener. If so, check/change the filter. Or put the softener on bypass and see if things improve. Let me know okay?

    I'm with MGD on this. Sounds like volume to me. How old is your house and what material are your pipes? Copper, plastic or galvanized? Back to you, Tom

    You have posted the same question twice so I'll delete your last Post. Meanwhile, here's your answer, regards, Tom

    Why are "pressure switch" and "water softener" tagged in my earlier posts? What a great way to send people to other sites for the info. Someone has dropped the bleeping ball on this site.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. If by "tagged" you mean deleted I haven't touched one of your posts. I deleted a duplicate of a post the OP posted yesterday. We do it all the time. Your post didn't come into play at all. I'm still trying to figure out what your beef is. If you would like to PM me with it I'll be glad to go over your complaint with you. Give me the post you're so unhappy about and we'll go from there. And bye the way. I agreed with you on this thead.
    Regards, Tom

    I know its not you Tom. In my post #2 pressure switch is in blue for some reason, and when I put my curser over it, it shows some nonsense links to other sites and some games to play. Same with my post #4 with water softener. Maybe Im the only one that gets this. Not sure, but it just threw me off and for some reason upset me. It has happened on a couple other post just today for the first time. Not sure what's up. Sorry for the tantrum.

    In the mean time I think you're doing a great job. Regards, Tom
