I have a pressure switch that won't stay closed long enough to let the jet pump come up to speed. When the pressure drops enough for the switch to close it won't stay closed, bounces back and forth like someone sending Morse code. Jam a screwdriver against the points and the motor runs fine. The set up was inherited by a new owner so nobody knows if it ever worked.
There is a pressure tank, jet pump, cistern in that order from left to right. 1" pipe from the cistern, 3/4 pipe on the discharge. Cuts in at 30 psi, cut out at 50 if I do the screwdriver override. Anything I'm leaving out?
Checked the pressure tank, its good. Put a new pressure switch on and it does the same thing. Regular old SQ D without a low pressure cut off.
