    variable frequency drive

    So the pump turns on at 57 and shuts off at 62. Should I increase the range to 50-62. If so what should I put the pressure of the tanks? Doing this will itt take longer for it to cycle? If I got screwed it is what it is. I just want to know how to fix this. Thanks for all the feedback
