No water at all when fawcet is turned on, have 40 psi on storage tank, all lines are correct and tank filled over night can you help
SOURCE: Cabin pump, primed fine only goes to28psi and keeps running
Sounds like the injector nozzle is plugged. This nozzle is directly inside the influent line on single line jets and down in the well on two-line jets. I'm assuming you have it primed correctly. If this happened suddenly the it'd definitely the injector nozzle. It it was a gradual process over time then I would say it's either a badly worn nozzle or worn impeller.
SOURCE: I lowered my water pressure on the tank because my
pressure switch,look under cover tells you how too set there's low set and high set,look at pressure guage should click on at 30psi shut off at 50psi, adjust to this, just be careful don.t get shocked'power goes to switch for your pump. that would be first thing i'd check.
SOURCE: My current water tank was
If I understand you, this is a water well. For pressure to drop, water must be going somewhere. If you see no leak in the tank, that is not the problem.
Check all outlets, faucets, toilets, showers, outside faucets, etc. If you see no leaks and the pressure is still dropping, there is a check valve either before the pump or in the well and this could be leaking back. Either way, the pressure should drop to zero unless the pump comes back on.

SOURCE: I have a new 1 hp utiltech pump and a new.
The 34 psi of the pressure tank sounds high, but it depends on what the cut-in pressure is set at in the pump pressure switch. Typically the pressure switch is for 20-40 psi or 30-50 psi. To establish what the pre-charge of tank should be , you need to establish what the pressure switch setting are (i.e 20 - 40 psi , etc.) Run the water and watch the pressure gauge and note at what pressure the pump comes on. The pressure tank needs to be pre charged 2 -4 psi below that cut-in pressure. So if the cut-in pressure is say 30 psi, then the tank needs to be pre charged to 28 psi.
To pre charge the pressure tank, turn the pump off. Drain the pressure tank of water to relieve all pressure in the tank. Then check the pressure of the tank at the air valve. Set the pressure to 2 psi below what the cut-in pressure is.
If you adjust the pressure switch, say from 20-40 to 30-50, you will need to go through the procedure of re adjusting the pressure in the tank. I hope this helps....
