I changed my pressure switch... Same exact thing happen to mine for Christmas. The L + N contact that clicks on and off in the switch wore off and was touching each othershake d livin wake d dead wrote:Bumping this ched for a problem Im getting....
Pressure holds good between 30-50...pressure switch and tank seems fine..
Problem...once a pipe is running the pump would click on and off faster than you can snap your fingers...what could that be?? At times the breaker may trip...anyone??...

Can you tap it to see how much water in it?
A busted tank will be full of water even when tap is on and pump running

Even with a problem like that, the breaker not suppose to trip. You can check the switch and the grounds. Make sure the pump on the correct setting with the breaker size (pump set to 220/230v but it's plugged in a 110/120v supply or vice versa).
Yep easy check open pump back end an remove grey V shaped contacts and inspect...note if it's that don't use till change can burn pumpGladiator wrote:The centrifugal switch is gone or is problematic... normally as soon as the pump builds the RPM the centrifugal switch kicks in to drop off the start winding.
