I turned off pump and drained water from house and outside faucet. I have 25 psi in bladder tank. I replaced the pressure switch and the pump still rapidly shuts on and off when I use water. The pump is only 14 months old.
Good you got it working. Please post again if you have more trouble on this or another item. Also be sure and check what I mentioned just in case you are operating at the margins, don't want a failure right after you got it going!

Did you drain the tank when you drained all the other parts of the system? It will be very light when it is drained, as in no water in it. It will be easy to wiggle.When did you check the air pressure? It is set when the tank is empty of water and must hold that pressure basically forever, if it leaks out, the bladder or air input valve is bad.\Did this start all of a sudden or has it always operated this way?
In the meantime, one of my neighbors came by and adjusted the pressure on the switch. It seems to be working fine now. Something so simple. Saved me a bunch of money. Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.
Someone failed to drain the water system at the hunting ranch and the water froze and cracked the pump. The motor is fine so I am looking to replace the pump housing. Where can I purchase parts for UtiliTECH 0054316 1HP shallow pump?
What are the carbon brushes sizes used with Utilitech pump model no. 55832
The pump is short cycling. I have been told to turn the power off, open a water valve, put air in the tank to 20lbs and this should clear up my problem. Where is the valve to add the air?
