Good you noticed that.

I like the idea of testing the pressure right at the pump. I will try it.

Yeah....that's a good idea about testing the pressure at the pump. Even the standard pump will generate sufficient pressure.

Maciek, I'll be curious to see what pressures you read directly from the pump. I don't understand why your pressures are so low unless something is wrong or there's an obstruction.
