Above answer is talking about an automotive water pump. This is a jet pump for home cottage water supply. Canadian Tire do not stock parts for any of their Mastercraft pumps. I found that out the hard way! For a seal, you may be able to find a generic one. A company that repairs other makes of domestic water pumps may have one that will fit.
Mastercraft makes sells a lot of pumps. You might want to post with the model number etc. You can also go on line and probably get the manual that will show how it is done.
There are a lot of different pumps, look in the manual or go on line and get it. If you need more help I would suggest adding the model number etc to your post.
That pump doesn't have a pressure switch! It has a digital flow sensor on discharge. It will keep running so long as there is a flow. Usually caused by dripping tap, or leak. Pressure doesn't stop the pump. By the way - Don't expect to get parts from Canadian Tire or Mastercraft - They told me that they carry NO parts for that pump. It is very similar to a Burcam pump and they may have parts or offer service.
I don't think the power shortage had anything to do with the pump, I think it is the impeller or a gasket, or both. It is hard to say, a pump like that should **** dry and pull water right in.If you put your hand over the end of the pipe, it should make a mark like an octopus on your hand. I would take off the impeller, look for trouble, and replace 3 or 4 parts in there , you should have water. Hope this helps.
Make sure the foot valve in the well is good and the ejecter is cause I have replaced some with a pin hole in them or a rock get in foot valve and not let it hold pressure right.
Pressure Switch the big screw should be the only one you turn to adjust pressure increase or decrease if you moved the small on eyou can look at your old one to get an Idea of where it was set or get you close.
