    Water pressure on a well
    What should the pressure be when the sprinkler system is on. The well pressures up at 60 PSI but when the sprinklers are on it sometimes dip to like 25 is this normal?

    The pressure switch has 2 settings. One turns pump on , the other turns pump off.

    If pressure switch shuts off at 60 PSI then it will turn on at 40 PSI.Even though It goes on at 40 PSI the pressure will drop lower if water is still in use.
