    Very low prssure before pump comes on?
    I have replaced from the foot valve including jets right up to the pressure tank and including the tank. It is jet pump and the foot valve is only 145 feet from the pump head. Took a long time to prime, and now it will omly come on when pressure is almost at 0. seems to take a very long time for it build up to 45PSI
