water pressure in my house has been on the decline for a while now. I've checked the pipes and joints for leaks (luckily, I found none).
I've got a Challenger Series pressure tank (Flexcon Industries). I watched the pressure on it last night - it turns on at about 28psi and cuts off at about 62psi (then seems to "settle" at about 60, without the water running).
I understand that the on/off spread should be around 20 psi, right? So perhaps I should adjust the "on" setting to 40psi?
the second part of my question has to do with making the adjustment. there is no housing over the relay/switch that is inline with the pressure guage. there are, however, two nuts on posts/springs which I assume are my on/off adjustments. one is clearly taller than the other. any idea which one is which?
The tall one raises both the cut in and cut off pressure at the same time. You want to adjust the smaller one.
