How to Replace Jet Pump Pressure Switch & Change Voltage

[@hightide-mcknotts]

Thank you for the demonstration and information in this video - I called and spoke to a gentleman named James at the Idaho location to ask a question and he was very nice and took the time to help me with my electrical motor question. I appreciate it when businesses and their employee's - office personnel - technicians etc. answer your phone call right away and are nice and friendly and direct you instantly to someone who can help you. It's a reflection on their company and reputation and i appreciate great customer service - Thank you.

Ahh! Thank you so much! The pressure switch on my brand new pump had a contact pop off and I was trying to figure out how to remove the pressure switch to put a new one on. I knew how to do the first step of removing the incoming wires, but wasn't sure how it attached. Now I see that threaded piece. That helps. I will need to get those fork terminals for my wires eventually. I'm about to pause the video and go try this before it gets dark. Hmm.. changed the switch but it is making a ton of noise. Chattering very loudly and sounds like it might be short cycling. Ugh.

Great videos Chris. I have a Gould 1HPJet pump which sometimes stutter starts, sometimes it starts right away when the pressure drops to 40psi, sometimes it starts, stops, starts very quickly. Pressure tank is set correctly. No air in the system. Any suggestions?

Nice video- how do I replace that flexible rubber line please? I have yanked it out of the housing while trying to unscrew it ; is there a beefier trick for this given the plastic threaded components? Thanks!

HELP How do you know what brand to buy, I have a burnt-out power switch and I've been on Amazon all day, and can't figure out what to buy. I have a switch on the pump, just like your setup in the demo. it is a 1/2 HP Flotac 4312. Your demo helped if I ever find a switch to buy for the pump. Can't find the FRlotec name-brand switch. does it matter about the brand?

Hello, I have a new 3/4 hp shallow well pump, that is short cycling on 2 of the 5 zones, any idea why, only on 2 out of 5, ?? New check valve installed also, thankyou,

[@RCworstwater]

Do you have a pressure tank installed? It is likely that those two zones are not using enough water.

[@jamesthompson9161]

@@RCworstwater thankyou

[@jamesthompson9161]

Yes. ,tank installed, it's holding pressure, still wonder if. It bad,

With a name like Worst you have to be the best 😏

[@89bavaro89]

If I have to change the pressure switch do I have to turn the water off or drain anything? My pressure switch is mounted to the pump like in this video.

[@RCworstwater]

Yes, you need to turn off power and drain the pressure before you replace it.

I have a jet pump wired for 230 volts as I can also reduce it to 115 volts, it pumps water but does not have enough pressure to get past 20PSI as of needle vibrating like shaking at 22 PSI. The starting point is 30PSI to 50 PSI shutoff, the tank has a bladder in it and holds 20 gallons as of 28 PSI set as of the 30 to 50 PSI, it runs steady and will not build up pressure as of pump, so I got to unplug the pump. What could be the problem here??

[@RCworstwater]

Sounds like it might not be fully primed. Check out our video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYTWhZ1uj9l6gtE

[@JohnHansknecht]

Of course you wouldn't put the raw wires to the input. Must be in a conduit so the wires don't rub on the housing, wear through the insulation and short out.

[@ghostlyencountersparanorma6041]

Y dose my pump keep turning off after I turn it on

[@cf4459]

Well that was confusing as hell I still don't know where the wires go.
