Hi, I'm looking after a freinds holiday let while they are away. They have a private borehole water supply.
Water is pumped to a tank, c. 50 cm diameter by 1.0 m high. The tank has a pressure valve on top, and a square box to control "cut in/cut out" pressures (currently 80 and 120 psi)
There is also a car tyre type valve on the tank. I think this is to pressure an inner rubber sleeve in the tank to equalise the pressure of the water (this currently trickles and gushes as the pressure fluctuates between 80 and 120 psi).
Any idea what pressure the valve and rubber liner should be at?
Thanks.
