Well pump pressure switch won't shut off at 50psi. Replaced switch and still having the same problem with pressure building at least above 70psi and pump needing to be turned off manually. Any ideas?

1. Did you replace the little tube that the switch is attached to? Or at least make sure it's clear and open.
2. Are the points on the switch opening? If not, and the tube to the switch is clear, then turn the large center nut on the switch two full turns counter clockwise (do this with power off) and see if that helps you. If it does, then continue to adjust the switch by turning counter clockwise to lower pressure cut off and clockwise to raise it.
Thanks so much will give it a go!
Let us know how it goes.
Took awhile to get back to our place in wv where we were having a prob... Thanks so much!. it worked! We did have to turn the middle screw a few more times but now is just fine! Thanks again! Much appreciated!
Great. Isn't it nice to have reliable water again?
