Hi all, i really need help getting my pump to work. The well pump i have is powered by a generator and its mainly used for garden irrigation. The problem is when the generator power is on, the pump would only work for about 10 seconds before the switch cutting off at 36 psi. With the water still running the psi meter would slowly go down (takes about 15 seconds) until it reaches 30 psi and thats when it'll just drop all the way down to 0 psi and water would stop flowing. Once it shut completely off, i would have to unplug and plug in the power again just to get the pump working again for another 10 seconds and repeat the process just to get some water. While all this is happening, the water tank is only about 10% full and would not go higher or lower. Please if anyone could give me some suggestions it'll be greatly appreciated. Also is there a way to tweak it so the pump would just keep running until i decide to turn it off manually via the generator? I only use the water for irrigation once a day or every two day for about an hour. Thanks in advance!
