Your pump should be cutting on at 30 psi and off at 50. If the gauge is showing 20, then either the gauge is defective, something is wrong with the system, or the switch should be adjusted up, though...

Pump is running but pressure will not get to the 60# cut off pressure point. Sure sounds like the pump is going bad OR your wellpipe is leaking bigtime. More likely it's the pump. 11 years on a pump,...

Do you have a filter or softener on your system? If so, turn the bypass valve and see if your problem improves.

Speedball is 100% on it. The pressure switch controls the points at which the pump cuts on and off. Assuming your gauge is accurate, it sounds like the switch is cutting the pump off at 25#, which is...

Refer to your first post.

Why do you believe the points will burn up faster at 40/60?

Yes and Yes.

Look at it this way. You have what is probably a malfunctioning pressure gauge, so you really don't know what your pressure is. That is not good, and your pressure might be higher than you think. You...

Could this "open pipe" be a pressure relief valve??

Glad to see its been resolved. It will still be interesting to see why it won't pump up over 35#.

It will be interesting to find out. I wish you "well".

Please post the resolution of this problem.

"Could this have something to do with the tank being waterlogged?"
You can check out the waterlogged deal by simply pressing the air valve at the top. If the tank is completely waterlogged, water...

My understanding is that keeping the reset switch jammed "on" will run the pump. I could be wrong about that. At any rate, you seemed to have checked that and it would seem the pump is not running....

I wish you well. Just be aware that the magic marker thing really points to an issue with the switch, at least in my mind. With a faulty check valve, the pump will cycle on and off frequently but the...

Well, having reread your posts, I am assuming your pump is submerged since you stated it is deeper than 75'. Is the pump above ground? If not, then it is submerged. At any rate, the reset lever on...

For goodness sake remove the magic marker! If you are doing what I think you are doing, you are wedging the reset lever on your switch to the on position which would cause your pump to run 24/7......
