And there is a crack on the pressure switch. When all the houses are closed water is coming from the pressure switch. I couldnt find the flojet's costumer service number. How and where should I get in touch with them.
SOURCE: pump 30/50lbs pumps up to 50 shuts off pressure drops to 32lbs
Look for a place in the pipe from the pump to the house where an air pocket could form. That will fool the pump.
SOURCE: gould 1/2hp submergible well pump cycles on and
My first thought was that of a water logged tank which causes short cycling, from your notes the tank is good (the tank may be partially water logged though) If the tank is ok and your getting short cycling (and the switch is good) I would guess your check valve down the well has failed. As the pump creates pressure then shuts off the water may be going right back down the well causing the pump to cycle again. This could also account for the poor water pressure as the check valve may be stuck slightly open allowing the system to loose pressure but only allowing a small amount of flow by when running. There could be a leak within the pumps drop-pipe and your loosing pressure through this leak. I expect you'll have to have the pump pulled.
I hope this may have helped,
Tom
SOURCE: My water pump stops and starts. the contacts on
A lot of these pumps do have automatic thermal switches built into the motor end cap, Double check that its being fed the name plate voltage and that the voltage doesn't drop when the pump is running (which would indicate a loose or bad connection or just undersized wire in the circuit)
SOURCE: My flojet daiphragm pump sounds like its working
the diaphragm may be puntured so no pressure developing

why no responses to questions. i noticed several?
what is this on?
