Ran call for possible no water to the home. The well does build the pressure tank up to 60 psi as it should, but as soon as the gauge reaches 40 psi to send power to the pump the pump does not come on right away as it should. It does eventually come on after it sits for about 5-10 minutes. Existing 32 gallon pressure tank and well pump was just installed by chuck Mullins plumbing back in 2018. The pressure tank only had 27 psi, added another 10psi to the tank since it’s operating on a 40-60 pressure switch. The pressure switch is in great condition with no burn marks and the wire going from the pressure tank to the well has continuity. Also checked for power at the pressure and well seal. All lines have 120 volts going to them as they should. I believe this issue is being caused by a faulty well pump or a partial break in the well that’s feeding the well pump. I cannot confirm the diagnosis until the pump has been pulled/inspected. It does looks like whoever did the previous install
