This week's topic is well pressure switches.
I spent the morning and early afternoon working in the barn and was drenched with sweat when I decided to wrap it up for the day. I came in the house, stripped off my clothers, turned on the shower and........nothing. No water, no noise, no drips, no air.
Put my clothes back on and went down to the cellar. The well alarm wasn't going off and the well pump breaker wasn't tripped. I looked at the tank gauge and it read 0psi. I touched the prssure switch housing and the pressure jumped up to 40psi and the line in kind of jumped. I pulled the cover off and didn't see anything obvious going on but the switch appears to be very sensitive, it jumped several more times.
Any idea what I should do to correct this issue? Degree of difficulty?
