Hello All,
I have been having trouble with my Franklin Subdrive 2-Wire VFD recently. Whenever a inside fixture (faucet, sink, toilet flush) is used by itself I have noticed the pressure gauge shoots up to about 65-70PSI initially and then the flow sensor (2nd green light) turns off and pressure drops to 55PSI and then the pump kicks in and shoots the pressure back up past the set point on the pressure switch of 60PSI and will continue this until water is turned off.
On the contrary if I go outside and turn on the hose bib to a water hose the pump turns on and maintains the set pressure of 60PSI. If I leave the outside hose running I can use any fixture in the house perfectly and it maintains pressure no issue.
Items tried to resolve issue: Pressure Tank replaced and increased size to 20 gallons. Set pressure tank at 42PSI (70% of set pressure per manual). Replaced Pressure sensor and installed check valve right after pressure sensor to reduce any turbulence that may be caused (per manufacturer recommendation).
Any thoughts as to what may be causing this issue? Appreciate the help in advance.
