Jet pumps cycles all the time. My pressure switch is 20/40.
Once the pump hits cut-off, the guage keeps going down until it hits cut-in pressure. I have pulled the pipe out (40 ft), replaced foot valve, replaced pressure switch, and bladder tank. Problem continues.

I pulled the the pipe out twice to make sure the foot valve was put in properly, but I didn't check to see if there was a leak or crack in the pipe itself. Could this be my problem?
