    Pumptec only allowing pump to run for 5 Seconds

    Pumptec only allowing pump to run for 5 Seconds

    Update pumptec needing its sensitivity adjusted I set it at 65% (70% is default). Pressure tank was at 20PSI, pump ran for 7-9 minutes and completely topped off system. 2 showers and a load of laundry and so far so good.

Only change, I have noted is the rain has not been anywhere near as heavy as...
