    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    Hello again, my bladder pressure tank just kept filling with water very slowly until it was basically fully waterlogged. I just kept turning the pressure up on the switch to make it past the Florida hurricane and fortunately it did. I was also fortunate enough to replace my 20 gallon flexcon...

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    I understand that, I will be replacing it asap. Just glad I have water again for a bit before I do that.

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    Turned the pressure switch range nut 2 full turns, pump now cycles perfectly at 30/50 and haven't had an issue since. Still have a couple leaks as it loses about 5psi per hour. I guess the new pressure switch was just very off from factory and I pump was having some finicky issues with it, I'm...

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    Is it normal that only a little bit of water could have gotten out of the bladder and into the tank? Because it still sounds hollow when I knock on it and no water came out of the valve on top. Seems like most of the time people's tanks are completely waterlogged when the diaphragm has any sort...

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    What would I need to purchase to reroute the tube from in front of the tank itself and not the regulator? Also when I tried to drain the system there was always a little bit of water stuck in the tank even when I tried to air it up to 50 and push it out. I would say the tank was probably 80-100...

    I may have added confusion by saying slowly drops to 0. When the psi gets to about 30 the gauge will drop to 0 in about a minute, so not that slowly. Still though, the tank is 30+ psi when this happens.

    I will make my way to getting a garden hose gauge. Regulator has a lot of parts it looks like from this diagram, no idea what they're doing though.. I tried sticking a brush in there and cleaning it out because its very rusty inside too, the top part the gauge was at had no water at all but the...

    The hose is on the same pipe that runs into the ground and into the house. But if there was a big pressure difference what would that indicate is wrong with the system? I will try to get up to to the store and buy one, I'm just curious.

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    I don't have a garden hose pressure gauge to try and test, I actually replaced the gauge with a brand new 0-100 gauge today. Same issue, pump turns on, clicks off at 50, drops down to about 42-45 before stabilizing. Very slowly drops about 1 psi every 20 minutes and the switch doesn't turn it...

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    So, that's what it keeps doing over and over. I think I will try replacing the tank and hope that fixes some of my other problems too. I filled the tank up to 50 to try and get the water out and couldn't get all the water out of tank. Always sounded like there was a little bit still stuck in it...

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    Today the pump worked all day, however I do believe my gauge is broken. The moment it reaches around 35 psi the gauge slowly goes down to 0 but the pressure tank is still showing 30+ psi. After replacing the PVC fitting at the pressure tank that was leaking really bad it hasn't lost prime a...

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    Just had the issue again randomly. It's like when no water is being used and the the pressure is let out very slowly the pressure switch wont turn the pump on, but when water is being used normally and the water pressure drains quicker the switch will function as normal. I don't believe there is...

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    There isn't a standard tee to relocate it too I believe. The tank and gauge were identical pressure but I am noticing that the cut in is 25psi and cutoff is 45psi. Should I tighten the spring to get it back to 30/50? I haven't messed with the spring since buying it 4 days ago, maybe they can be...

    Deep well jet pump Pressure switch not turning on by itself.

    Hello, I'm having an issue where the Pressure switch will sometimes (not always) stay open and not turn the pump on when the pressure drops below 30psi (30/50 switch). When this happens the pressure will drop low and I will lose water entirely then the pressure switch will eventually turn the...

Hey, wait a minute.
