Sometimes it will do it a couple of times a day.


Sounds like the pressure switch is sticking.

I have noticed the water
pressure has gone down over the last year, although nobody else in the
house seemed to.


That can be a water logged tank. Or lack of pressure in the bladder. You
can check the pressure with a tire gauge. It is probably lower than the
specifications.


I can't see all sides of the tank to get any info on it. How do I find out the
specifications for it? And if it is lower than the specifications, does that
mean we need a new tank?
