Well Pump & Pressure Tank help needed

[Mousefield]

If your taps are open and no power to pump water to pressurize the tank then it is most likely the gauge, as others have suggested. If you have no water running out of your tap then the pressure gauge should be at zero.

Over the last 15 years at this house, I have had a couple issues with my well setup.

- awful water; plugged the nipple leading to the pressure switch
- Awful water; plugged the pressure gauge so it read wrong
- Frog; little tree frog got in to the pressure switch, and committed little froggy suicide across the liver terminal of the switch
- bladder in pressure tank was low; well cycled more
- pressure switch just up and croaked

If anything is acting funny, I check with a known good gauge, and work from there.

It's fixed!
Thanks to Steve_Miller, I replaced the gauge and you all were right; It was reading way too high. Now it cycles on and off at the proper intervals. I guess I don't know what 90 psi really feels like!
Also J_J, you need to update the price sheet in your head; the new gauge was $6.97 not $6.95 like you quoted.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions to fix my issue!
