    FloTec Pump will not shut off
    I have a FloTec Pressure mate it helps push the water through the house. It generally shuts off. Today it doesn't want to. What can I do? What needs to be done?

    Thanks

    HI Wenhet

    How is the water flow/pressure? Does it change if you unplug the unit or remain the same?

    Have you checked for any leaks in the house?

    Answer my questions and if there is nothing obvious you can call flotec directly at

    18003656832

    And speak with the technical department. They should be able to focus you in on the issue pretty quick... :)

    Thank you, I did find the problem. The snow fell off the roof, and turned on an outside faucet. Hence the pump running!! Thanks for the info.
