So I installed my new CSV today, and I fear I may have blown my pump somehow. Would like some help quickly if possible.
After installing the CSV (PK1A with 10 gallon pressure tank) I turned on power it was flowing fine, but the CSV pressure gauge was showing a pressure around 20-25 PSI with the hose bib fully open. This kit was supposed to be set up for 55 psi constant. I tried tightening down the CSV stem to increase the PSI but it didn’t do anything.
When I closed the hose, the pressure gauge on the CSV seemed to jump up and peg, the settle back at 50 PSI. Then the pressure switch started cycling on and off rapidly. After it did this a few times turned off the pump power to avoid hurting it. Now when I turn the power on, the pump doesn’t do anything.
Could the pressure switch have gone bad that fast? Thinking about trying my old pressure switch, but I am very concerned right now!
