    Home watter pressure system switch
    I replace the watter pressure switch after repairs of a pump. Now I'm not able to sett the kick in and shut off limits (it's the one with manual shutoff lever and two adjusting nuts).
    Thank you

    Good morning Mark,
    First turnoff the power at the breaker box, then pull the cover off the pressure switch and you will see two spring loaded bolts secured with nylon nuts. One tall, one short. To increase the cut in pressure, turn the nut on the tall bolt down. To increase the cut out pressure,(that's the one that will give you more pressure) turn the nut on the short bolt down. This should let youset the pressure that you desire. Good luck, Tom
