My water pump at camp needed to be rebuilt so I had it done and, after some initial pain, learned how to prime it and get pressure to build. However, it would not build up to the 55 PSI necessary to get the pump to stop cycling. However, located just after the pressure tanks is a shutoff valve. This line leads to the UV water purification system. If I shut this valve, pressure builds to 55 PSI and the pump stops cycling. In the camp though, with this valve turned off, we have only hot water and no cold whatsoever. If I turn the shutoff valve on, then we have hot water and only very slow running cold, and the pump will not shut off (even with no water being demanded in the camp for toilets, taps, etc). Any advice, besides a bullet?
