Perfectly explained. I've been trying to understand how to wire my deluxe box but every video I've come across is for a standard box. Between this and your other video I believe that I've reached enlightenment.

That clears up the confusion why some pressure switches are wired with two wires, and some are wired with 4 wires, I will now call you "Sennsei" Teacher!

Nice video I gave a thumbs up! I definitely have a TWO wire configuration on the LEFT side of my pressure switch as the orientation in your video is presented! My question is this. Can I turn off all power to the switch and move the two wires from the left side of the pressure switch to the RIGHT side (unused side of the pressure switch) as the contacts on the unused side are in excellent condition? I wish to do this as the existing contacts on the LEFT side are pretty worn out but still functional!

How would this work if you used 12v?

[@Mason-nm1vf]

Interesting. Mine is wired black / white on one side and then black / white on the other side. It does not have the same color wire on either side.

My installation is old fashion weird... 3/4 hp control box regular. They only used on side of the switch....from the control box one in, one out ! been like that since 1983.

What about for a 3 wire pump?

[@willhaab6631]

Where does the common go in the second scenario

[@cheedo71]

So the deluxe box allows you to basically get double the life out of the pressure switch?

[@TShafferTube]

perfect, just what i was looking for !

[@abelrb0306]

What size wire? What size breaker

Sw its not named on my control box

[@BobStapleton]

SW? L2?? what the hell you talking about? further explanation would be useful.

[@MelvinGray-c8s]

L2 = Hot In SW situation both wires are hot, one is incoming and one is outgoing, there is a deluxe control box in this situation. If you do not have a Deluxe system you will have 4 wires and 2 grounds.
