Well Pump & Pressure Tank Dashboard
Log system pressure readings for a well water system with a pressure tank and watch latest, average, min/max, in-range % and excursions against a psi acceptable band.
Acceptable band: 40โ60 psi. Readings are timestamped and stored in your browser only.
Acceptable band 40โ60 psi. Times use this device's clock (2026-06-08).
Field notes from maintenance practice
Short-cycling kills well pumps: if pressure races between cut-in and cut-out every few seconds when water runs, the tank's air bladder has failed or lost its pre-charge, and the pump starts far too often. Check the tank's pre-charge (it should be ~2 psi below cut-in, measured with the system drained) โ restoring it stops the cycling and saves the pump. Watch the cycle frequency here, not just the pressure level. A well system cycles between the pressure-switch cut-in and cut-out, and the cycle pattern is diagnostic: very rapid cycling ('short-cycling') usually means a waterlogged pressure tank (lost air charge), which burns out pumps fast.
Consistency makes the numbers meaningful: measure at the same point, with the same instrument, at sensible intervals (continuous where the risk is high, spot-checks where it is low). The in-range percentage is the metric to watch โ a band that quietly drifts from 100% toward 95% is telling you something is changing before any single reading alarms.

About Well Pump & Pressure Tank Dashboard
This dashboard turns scattered system pressure checks for a well water system with a pressure tank into a monitored series: log a reading whenever you measure and it tracks the latest value, the average, the min/max range, the percentage of readings inside the acceptable band and the number of excursions โ the everyday telemetry picture, computed in your browser with no logger subscription. The default acceptable band is 40โ60 psi typical cut-in/cut-out band for a residential well pressure switch.
How to use Well Pump & Pressure Tank Dashboard

Frequently asked questions
What is the acceptable system pressure range for a well water system with a pressure tank?+
The default band is 40โ60 psi typical cut-in/cut-out band for a residential well pressure switch. Treat it as a sensible starting point โ your own specification, regulator, equipment manual or product datasheet sets the authoritative limits, and you can read your true band straight off the worst case those documents allow. Edit the readings against whatever band applies to you.
My well pump turns on and off rapidly โ what's wrong?+
Almost always a waterlogged pressure tank. The tank stores water under an air cushion so the pump can rest between draws; when the air bladder ruptures or the pre-charge bleeds away, there's no cushion, so the pump cycles on and off rapidly with every small demand โ quickly overheating and wearing out the motor and switch. Check the tank pre-charge with a tyre gauge on its Schrader valve (system drained, no water pressure): it should sit ~2 psi below the pump's cut-in. Re-charge it, or replace the tank if the bladder is torn. Short-cycling is the single most common well-pump killer.
How often should I log system pressure readings?+
Match the interval to the consequence and the rate of change: where an excursion spoils product or risks safety, log continuously (or as often as you can sample); where it is merely informative, daily or per-shift spot checks suffice. The in-range % and excursion count only mean something if your sampling is regular โ sparse, irregular readings hide the excursions between them.
Is my logged data private?+
Yes โ every reading is stored in this browser's localStorage on your device and nothing is uploaded to any server, which also makes the dashboard usable on sites with strict data policies. For shared, audit-grade records across a team or for regulatory retention, export the values into your own system.
