    Why does my jet pump keep running?
    Today I thawed out my water line connected to my myers jet pump. I opened my spigets in the house and now have water. The problem is, the pressure gauge reads 60 psi. and continues to climb. Normally it shuts off at I believe 30 psi. I shut off the pump fearing something bad could happen if the gauge continues to rise. How can I trouble shoot this problem? Thank you.

    Is it possible that the little pipe leading to the switch is still frozen?
