I have a radon system in my basement. It had a Grundfos pump hooked up to the radon tank outlet that pulled off from a pressure tank that has a pressure switch.
The Grundfos seems faulty so out of desperation I replaced it with a Countyline 1hp water pump, which has its own pressure switch. I hooked it up and had it set at 230 v. When I started it after priming, it really didn't do much. I could hear it barely making a sound. So I switched it to 115 v with the button inside. When I started it, it began bouncing rapidly between the cut in and cut out on the pressure switch. The lights were dimming while it did this as well.
I'm wondering what I need to do to make this work. Here is a picture of my set up with the old pump. Only difference now is that I've got a new Countyline 1 hp shallow well pump on there.
I've got kids and a wife, barely making it financially and their depending on me to figure this out. With all this anxiety I feel like disappearing.
