Plumbing: Yard irrigation 3/4 horspower jet pump system problem.

The system consists of the electric motor and pump, 15 gallon tank, pressure gauge, and on/off pressure switch. The tank is set at 38 psi and the pressure switch at 40/50 psi. The ...»
pressure gauge shows at least 50 psi. I just had the pump repaired and I reinstalled it to the system. There are no leaks from the pump or pvc piping and connections. The pump cycles w/o any problems when it has a full water pumping load, but if I use the water very sparingly (e.g. filling a small pail), the pump cycles on and will not shut off when I turn off the water. If I then open the water faucet full to get full pressure, and then turn the water off, it will shut itself off. Could I have a pressure tank problem or whatever. All thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for the quick replies. I'm starting to think that the problem may be in the tank. ...»
    When I took the tank off the pump (for motor/pump repair) the water in the tank shot out like a fire hose. In the past this had never happened and that included a couple of different tanks. I've tried adjusting the pressure switch downward in pressure, so that may also be my problem. I'll readjust the pressure upward. Let's see what happens.

Design & Décor: We are doing minor remodeling of our kitchen. Does appliance garages outdate a kitchen and should we remove it?

    I don't know the answer to your question. Our market is the mid to high quality range here in Tidewater. We have installed one appliance garage in 80 or so kitchens over the last 6 years. I don't know what that means...:) Could be the designers aren't pushing them; could be the owners don't want them; could be the manufacturers aren't offering them or they are too expensive. They take up quite a bit of room and tend to "box in" a section of an otherwise open counter. Tim
