Accumulator tank pressure??

I'm putting together a high pressure aeroponics system and having a difficult time finding info on accumulator tank pressure.

My question is what PSI should I pressure my bladder tank to if I plan to maintain aprx 80 psi to my misters?

I've seen some say 2-3 PSI below the pumps turn ON pressure and others say 2-3 PSI under the pumps turn OFF pressure. I'd appreciate some solid info on this if anyone could shed some light. Thanks!

When I did HPA I ran at 120psi at the accumulator and then used a pressure-reducing valve to set my actual pressure before the solenoids. I found running too close to cutoff caused weird issues, so it was easier to run higher and have that extra pressure buffer.

Remember to adjust your automatic shut off switch on your pump. I think they are shipped out topping at 40 or 60 psi so if you want more than that there is a hex screw you turn clockwise to increase psi cut off
