Well pressure switch

[Christopher Sieber]

I just replaced my well pressure switch and turned on the power , pump runs and cycles off at 60 psi and comes back on at 40 psi. It does this for 2-3 cycles (I have the hose on because I am trying to fill my hot tub outside). For some reason, after the system cycles for 2-3 times , my pressure drops on my gauge , the water pressure gets real low and it does not come back on. It only seems to kick back on jf I turn to power off to the switch for roughly 5-10 minutes than will come back on and the same problem re occurs

How long is the long part of the cycle? Maybe 56 seconds or what?

Chances are your pressure tank needs to be replaced.

If you want more detail, where is your pump? What is your pump?

It’s not the pressure switch. Probably 90%+ it’s the overloads in the Pump. Doesn’t have anything to do with you turning the breaker of and back on either.

Like Boyce says, the overload in the motor is tripping. That happens after you let the pump cycle on and off too many times.
