"ON" at 50???? That's far more typical of cutout pressure. Anything

much over that is surely likely to cause premature failures in toilet

valves, water hammer, etc., unless you've a PRV before the house

distribution.



But, the two-pounds below the cut-in is the rule of thumb but I

certainly have never seen a system operating at those pressures.



What's the head pressure of the pump?

I'm out of my element here. I see a pressure gauge from the line running from the tank to the house. And when the pressure switch kicks in at 52. I guess I'm looking at the wrong gauge. The pressure tank was delivered with 35psi. If I just leave it, will I be ok? Thanks.
