    Either the pump is plumbed incorrectly or the pressure vessel is leaking on the pump.

    As a guess i am guessing its plumbed incorrectly can you provide photo's of the pump and where it is connected to the tank etc.

    The air pressure in the vessel is incorrect!
    Should be 1.2 Bar.
    Turn off pump, open nearest tap or outlet, get system pressure down to zero, then check air pressure in vessel. Adjust accordingly!

    You're welcome!

    I am sure they may have addressed this over the last nearly 3 years.
