I think the tank is supposed to be set to 2psi below the "cut in" pressure of the system. Not the "cut out" pressure. For my 30 to 50 psi system, my pressure tank air bladder is at 28psi (when drained).

Was thinking the same but then how would the pump come on unless on the video it's manually running.

- Deep well pump that runs when the sun shines to fill a cistern and overflow into the pond
- Additional solar pump that draws from the cistern and feeds a pressure tank and the water distribution piping around the lab
Another question. You mention 1" pipe above. Is that the distribution piping around the lab? Isn't it like a half a mile long to the farthest point? Might be a lot of losses in a pipe that small.

I got this tall by not having enough crisco in my diet as a kid. This ad looks like it had plenty of shortening:
