  • Square D pump switch adjustment. How to set the range and top end. If you have a pump that's cycling on and off chances are your pressure switch is out of adjustment or you have a bad ballast pressure tank. To ask questions contact us at: waterreclaim.com/

    JB Marker said it best: "Very well done. Good quality shots and great clear explanation. All Utube vids should be this well done."
    I totally agree, out of all the videos I searched through, this one explained CLEARLY how this particular system functions...

  • @libero8468
    @libero8468 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    By far the best explanation how this switch works. For most of us when we buy a house there are tons of things we need to find out how it works. The well pump is one such mystery. Many thanks for making this video. This is what TH-cam is all about!

  • @JohnDoe-ou3ze
    @JohnDoe-ou3ze 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great Video "Reclaim Filters & Systems Inc"! I have an "ok" working knowledge in regards to pressure switches, but I have always stayed away from adjusting the pressure/range/etc., due to my lack of knowledge, and opted to replace the switch when too old, or other wear and tear. After watching your video, and your excellent video work (frame in frame), I have a very clear understanding of its operation. Also gold nuggets were helpful like the Craftsman nutdreivers with hollow frame when working with nuts with extra long screws, are so helpful. In any case, great work, and thank you for the video!

  • @navajopa31
    @navajopa31 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Our well supplies 3 summer cottages. On our new square d pressure switch the shorter cut off adjustment spring can be moved up and down and is not under any tension. The 40/60 switch cycles at 34/55. The empty tank pressure is 32. We have a 5 year old large ($350) tank. Under heavy use the pump fails to come on even when the pressure goes to 0. If you open a faucet you can hear water draining back to the well pump and when it stops draining back you can turn the power back on and the well works normally until it happens again. It always happens when each cottage is using a lot of water. Thanks!

  • @nckeller
    @nckeller 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If this has been helpful I am glad. Thank you. To answer some questions: This is similar to even the inexpensive pressure switches found in many small air compressors but the range and the cut off only adjustments are usually screws instead of loc-nuts. In the common Harbor Freight air compressors the range screw is usually a cad plated metal screw recessed into the plastic and the cut off only is a plastic screw knob that is raised. If there is only one adjustment, it is usually the cut off only with the range being preset and non adjustable. In most all cases the instructions are printed in mice type under the lid of the switch.

    Thanks, I just bought one from China for $9 bucks, but it had nothing for instructions. I want to understand the cut-off only nut, really, but this video pretty much explains its operation proper. I am using it for a water pressure booster pump after its original pressure control switch started leaking where the PVC sections were fused together. I like this one since it's not electric and any savings is worth it since the pump is 7 amps or up and you will notice a rise in your electric bill with average use.
