You need to check the Schrader value with the tank empty of water and no pressure on the water side (drain open). With the tank empty of water there still should be some pressure on the air side of t

Another, less scientific approach, is to just close off the inlet and open an outlet where you can see it. Wait until the flow stops, then add a little air. If you get some more flow out, add a litt

Resending to the actual list... lost 22 psi over the past year. So while I regained the water pressure I hadn't really noticed was gone, it looks like this tank may be exiting it's mortal coil. It's

18 is low. Should be 38 PSI. This is the reason for the hammer. Pumps run at much higher pressure ( around 100 psi IIRC). Its quicking compressing the air. So you have less than half the air in there
