    Well pump not shutting off
    Had to replace my well pump, it is above ground 2 line jet pump replaced jet and foot valve at same time, pump pulls about 38ft, tank was replaced about 2 weeks prior it had become waterlogged pump will cycle fine for a while but then some times it will not shut off. If I tweak pressure switch pump shuts off and works fine for few days

    Unhook the small tube from the control box and pump and check it for a clog. Let me know what you find. Good luck. Tom

    FYI, pressure switches are cheap and easy to replace. Checking the little tube is good advice. If that's OK, then the switch is the next possible culprit. How old is it?
