Biggd, if I'm to believe the valve on my pressure tank, I'm at 45PSI and I've read between 40PSI and 60PSI is normal.

DesertDweller, I've used Minute Man in the past including a "large" job in replacing my indirect water heater. They were great but it almost seems like their business these days is winterizing/de-winterizing seasonal homes. I thought I was on their "list" after winterizing last fall but never got a call-back and didn't feel like having to "harass" them with phone calls.

Plenty of pressure, call Grays Wells. I had a problem with my water last July and he came out within a few days and took care of it but told me I should think about changing my pump since it's 40 years old.
I already have a new pressure tank, the well pump is next on the list.

I'd for sure take that advice and change the pump now. If you wait for it to fail, it will of course do so on a Friday before a Holiday weekend when you have all of your family coming up to the lake....:-). When mine failed it was over a weekend.

I know, I'm pushing my luck but you're right. It failed on me last 4th of July week with the whole family up. Luckly it was at the end of the week, so we all went home a day early on Saturday instead of Sunday.
He told me my pump was a 1/3hp, said he hasn't used a pump that small in over 20 years. The smallest he installs now is 1/2hp.
It's a second home, so it gets second priority.
