Pressure Tank Precharge
The pressure of compressed air stored in a captive air pressure tank. A reading should be taken with an air pressure gauge (tire gauge) with water pressure at zero. The air pressure is then adjusted to about 3 PSI lower than the cut-in pressure (see: pressure switch). If precharge is not set properly, the tank will not work to full capacity, and the pump will cycle on and off more frequently.
