My apologies up front to those who disagree with O/T posts. I understand your point but there's an enormous wealth of knowledge here on dang near any topic; no trying to twist anyone's tail, only want to learn from those smarter than I. :~)
So for a while my water pressure's been dropping to almost nothing before the pump kicks on. There was no air in the bladder tank; I doubt I've touched it since it was installed on about 2002. I drained system pressure, installed new pressure gauge and put 38 lbs of air in the tank, planning to adjust pressure switch to 40/60. Flip 'er all back on, it runs up to 70 lbs and shuts off.

Faucet running, it drops as expected to about 62 lbs; then a sudden drop, 3 or 4 seconds elapsed time, down to 40 lbs and the pump kicks on; runs up to 70 and shuts off. Repeat cycles are identical; the sudden drop to 40 lbs is noticeable in the water flow, so I'm sure it's not a bad gauge. But... I have no idea what would cause this...? Would someone please enlighten me?

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
