I have a diaphram pump used to pump water into my house. I recently had to replace the pressure switch (pre-set 30psi on - 50psi off). When I replaced the switch, the pressure in the diaphram tank dropped to about 15-20 psi. I turned the pump back on and now the pump cycles constantly while running water in the house. I read where I should have "primed" the tank to 40 psi first. Ok, what's the best way to have it cycle normally again? Is the correct porcedure to
1). Turn off water to the pump.
2). Turn off electricity to the pump.
3). Open all the faucets, showers, etc to drain out the water and relieve pressure in the lines, and then close them all back.
4). With lines now empty, prime the tank to 40 psi
5). Turn back on water to the pump.
6). Turn back on electricity to the pump.
Thanks for any help any of you might have.
