Cabin pump, primed fine only goes to28psi and keeps running
I have a 40 gal bladder tank. I shut pump off to check relieved water pressure and checked pressure through scrader valve it was 29 psi right at recommended psi. There was some sand debris in the beginning but cleared up. There is no flow interruption when hooked directly to the discharge on the tank,any ideas. Tank pressure is set for 30/50 psi.

Sounds like the injector nozzle is plugged. This nozzle is directly inside the influent line on single line jets and down in the well on two-line jets. I'm assuming you have it primed correctly. If this happened suddenly the it'd definitely the injector nozzle. It it was a gradual process over time then I would say it's either a badly worn nozzle or worn impeller.
