assateague wrote:If you changed the pressure switch settings, I'm almost positive you have to adjust the air pressure in the bladder tank. But like I said, it's been a while.

It works while you are running two restricted lines (sprinklers) but the minute you open one with no restriction (assuming 5/8 or 3/4 hose) AND try to run another line - the tank keeps up until it's drained and then you slow to a trickle.
Also, 8 minutes to fill a tank from 0 makes me think it's a supply issue.
