Pump pressure switch does not turn on with low pressure
I lost water in my home overnight. The pressure gage reads about 8 PSI. If I use the lever on the pressure switch to close the contacts, nothing happens. Actually, the pump controller box, makes a buzzing sound for a couple of seconds, but that's it.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I don't have a lot of testing equipment, so I can't do any voltage testing. I do have a circuit tester, which tells me the voltage is exiting the pressure switch, when I manually close the contacts. Don't know what that voltage is, but there is something there. I'm hoping it's the pressure switch or the control box. Easy fix, if it's one of those. Also, it was cold last evening (below freezing), so I don't know if that plays a part in this. Thanks for any help. |

When I turn on my jet pump, the pressure goes quickly to 20-22, but after five minutes with a tap running, it stabilizes at 16. When I turned the tap off, it rose to 18. When I turned the pump off, it stayed steady at 20. It has not risen above 24 this year, though last year it started at 20 ,...
When the unit is turned on in the inside the outside unit is not responding. I believe it is low on freon which is preventing the low pressure switch from coming on. When this switch is pressed manually the unit comes on.
