I replaced the pressure tank as the old one wouldn’t hold air. The new one was changed to 38 lbs. so I lowered it to 28 to match the power controller of 30/50.

There was low pressure before I change out the old tank which I assumed was the cause of the low pressure. I still have low pressure after turning the well back on. I have water to the outside faucets. The pressure gauge shows 32 psi and the well never shuts off.

What I don’t understand is why the new tank is not filling. Can anyone tell me what type of pump this is? I assume that I pull the motor ofoff to get to the impeller.
