    Deep-well submersible pump pressure tanks/switches
    I purchased my home 6yrs ago with low well recovery. I just replaced my submersible pump. Gained crazy pressue however my toilet keeps running now. Cannot find any pressure tank, do you have any suggestions?

    U may have debris in flowmaster. Shut off water and flush toilet. Remove cap on top and holding a cup above turn water back on . This will flush unit. Shut water off and reinstall cap. Turn on water to fill tank.

    If water continues to run, adjust float.

    If water continues to run, replace flowmaster.

    Who did the replacement work? If it was a contracter, then he should be able to tell you where the tank is. There are a few submersible systems which have the pressure tank actually in the well, though it is not common.

    Follow the electrical wiring to find the switch. The switch should be fairly close, as in a few feet, from the tank.
