    The pressure will not go up enough for the pump to shut off.
    I have a WellXTroll and the pressure will not go up enough for the pump to shut off. The pump just keeps going. We have tried to reprime it but it seems that perhaps there is an issue with the tank. Any ideas? The tank is only two years old.

    You piggybacked on a old thread so I gave you one of your own.
    We have tried to reprime it
    And the pump won't hold prime?
    What's the PSI setting on your bladder tank? If your pump won't hold prime the first thing I would be checking is the foot/check valve.
    So, lets have more details. Regards, Tom

When the yellow jacket brand gauges are put on a 3 ton Tempstar heat pump what should the correct suction pressure and head pressure be. I suspect it to be overcharged in freon. Because it is freezing the compressor, accumulator tank and all the lines soild ice.
