IT WORKS!! Thank you very much for all your help. I will look into moving the pressure switch later.

It is WaterSource from Tractor Supply. Same as I took off. I turned both nuts about a quarter turn counter clockwise. Valves are open all the way.

Is that replaceable? Or pump needs replacing?

I went to the house today and turned the pump on. It built up pressure to 39. Just continues running. I turned the power off. Checked after 1 hour. Still holding 39.

I have a bored well with a 1 hp pump with pressure tank. Pump will not cut off. I replaced foot valve, then pressure switch. I checked pressure in pressure tank. Checked tank for water log. Checked the little pressure tube going to pressure switch. When running, there is good pressure at the...
