Hiya, Bobby.

Without thinking about it too hard, I would suspect the check valve between
the tank and well head is not holding--this causes leakage at this point
and has the effect of spinning the pump turbines backwardes and at startup
the cooresponding hi amps draw ( yes in this situation its acting as an
unregulated alternator untill connected ) is very hard on the pressure
switch contact points.

Thanks for your response. I have let it sit and watched the pressure gauge and
it does seem to be holding pressure just fine. We did put in a new check valve
when we changed the pump for what it is worth.

thanks,
Bobby
