Hi, found this forum while trying to figure out our well/plumbing problem over the past few days.
We've just finished pulling our deep water well & replacing it, the wiring, cap, pressure switch & pressure tank.
We have a new ProPlumber 30/50 pressure switch with only 1 adjustable screw. Our pressure tank is set with 28psi air.
When we first turn on a faucet we have a tremendous amount of water pressure and then it dwindles to a trickle. The adjustment nut has been screwed down to about halfway down. Again, the initial pressure is what we are used to and then dwindles.
The pressure switch doesn't kick on at all and we have a humming sound from our breaker box (that's something new for us). The pressure gauge shows a reading of 42 more or less. Should I keep screwing the adjustment screw down until the gauge reaches 50?
We had always used SquareD pressure switches & never had to adjust any of them. We had a new SquareD on yesterday and all the switch would do was click on & off & we still had no water pressure.
So we seem to have the same result re: water pressure with either the SquareD or ProPlumber.
Any suggestions/recommendations to try? All help is most welcome and will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
