The way I set up my pumps and pressure tanks is to make a note of the pressure at which the pump turns on, then with the pump turned off, and the pressure tank empty of water, fill the valve stem on the tank with air to a pressure that is between 2 and 5 PSI lower than your pump turn on pressure. In other words, if your pump turns on when the pressure drops to 45 PSI, then you want 40 to 43 PSI of air pressure in you tank, but be sure the tank is empty of water when you adjust the pressure. This assumes that your water pressure gauge and your air pressure gauge are both somewhat accurate. Make sure that the valve stem does not leak once you air the tank up. If this does not solve your problem, especially if the air pressure goes down after a short while, then your bladder or tank may have a leak.
