You need to adjust the pressure up to at least 50 - 60 psi and the differential at about 10-15 psi. That should fix the problem. Go here for instructions: How to adjust water pump pressure, pump cut-on pressure and pump cut-off pressure - private pump and well system do-it-yourself repairs
You should check the air pressure in the air bladder, too. After a while the air will be absorbed in the water and that causes the pump to not work right. I would put some air in it before adjusting the pressure to keep the tank from bursting. |
