Re: Pre-charing pneumatic air tank

The pressure switch is not adjustable. If your switch senses pressure at 114 psi, and you are sure your pressure gauge is accurate then replace the switch. It is likely defective and about to fail. I naturally would assume your gauge is faulty as over the years, this is more often the case with this complaint. Therefore running your system beyond the cutoff sensed by the switch is likely over pressurizing your system. Know when your data is lying to you.
