    Getting very Discouraged
    Hi,
    Here is my problem. I have a well approx. 110 feet deep. What I did was take the pressure tank moved it into the house. With that said I put the whole house water filter system on then the tank the pressure switch is approx. 3 feet away.So with that said my problem has not stopped the pressure goes up and down you flush one toilet and it cycles 8- 10 times before the pressure tank stops. Believe me the electric company loving me oh yay by the way my hydrant out in yard has no pressure unless you flush a toilet or let water run in house?? Any other suggestions
    Thank you

    Sounds like your tank may be waterlogged. Make sure you have the right pressure in the air chamber. Check this link

    Agree with Brian.
    Is this a bladder tank (painted, with Schrader air valve) or a pressure tank, unpainted galvanized tank?

    Does the pump cycle when no water is being used, or only when you have a faucet on?

    Did you place the filter between the well and the tank, or between the tank and the house?

    Having the switch three feet away should not be a big problem, but it is best when the switch is on the T fitting which goes under the tank.

    Is your pump in the well or above ground?
