Default Well pressure switch

"Kent McPherson" wrote
I have an Aermotor T12-75 well pump with pressure switch. I have no
documentation on it. Our water pressure seems low. I assume it should not
be as good as our previous house that had city water but it does seem a bit
low. Watching the pressure gauge, the pump cuts in at 30 and then works it
way back up to 50 and cuts out. The pressures sound about right. The
house is 8 years old and I doubt if the system has ever had any
maintenance. Is there any I should have done to hopefully improve the
pressure?


Is your gauge installed BEFORE the softener?
My system is brand new and has 2 gauges, 1 before the softener and 1 after
the softener.
Before reads 80 and after reads 55.
Next time I build a new house I'll have 1" pipes installed, I like alot of
flow in the shower and my wife likes those body jets.
