I haven't messed with mine but plumber suggested turning off water to
tank, letting water bleed off into house and pressurizing to maybe 25
psi. Think if I noted what appeared to be too rapid cycling, I'd check
the pressure.

I have a ball shut off valve beyond the tank and with my whole house
filter, there are more ball valves to isolate and bypass the filter
making change easy.

The one I found on the web was factory charged to 38, so
25 PSI sounds reasonable. I'd sure rather inflate to
38 PSI once a year, compared to spending $900. I can get
a nice compressor for 9 c'notes and inflate tires to
boot.
