Default Well pressure switch

My well worked off 220 so make sure the power is off before you play if you
like living.

In my experience, the nipple pipe right below the switch used to get filled
with crap and that would make the switch sense pressure inaccurately. Also
you may be reading the pressure in the wrong spot.

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?
