Default well preasure tank question

well?

Concidently, we just had a pressure tank problem solved last Friday. The
tech doing the work had to install a new tank to replace one with a broken
bladder. Our pump cuts in at 40 psi, shuts off at 60 psi. The tech set the
precharge in the tank at 35 psi -- the spec calls for 2 psi below the pump
start pressure, but the tech said he preferred to have a slightly larger
margin. Regards --
