How does a pressure control switch work?
A pressure switch is a device that operates an electrical contact when a preset fluid pressure is reached. The switch makes an electrical contact on either pressure rise or pressure fall from a certain preset pressure level. A pressure transducer converts pressure into an electrical output signal.
How do I know if my pressure switch is bad?
- Your water pressure is at or above the cut-out pressure, yet the pump doesn't turn off.
- Your pump doesn't turn on at the proper cut-in pressure.
- You have low water pressure even though the pump is running.
- Your pump runs, but it cycles on and off repeatedly.
How do you adjust a jet pump?
Turn the adjustment screw left, or counterclockwise, to reduce the pressure switch's setting. Turn the adjustment screw right, or clockwise, to increase the pressure switch's setting. The jet pump turns on once the water pressure drops to the set low limit.

Can I put a higher pressure switch on my well pump?
You can raise the pressure switch-points by adjusting the pressure switch. It's not uncommon to run at 60/40, and 70/50 is also possible. The limiting factors are: Your pressure switch (though as Ed says, most go to 90 or so)
What does 40 60 mean on a pressure switch?
If you have 40-60PSI it means that the switch will cut-on at 40PSI and cut-off at 60PSI. Same thing with 30-50PSI. If the switch is FSG2J24 it means this is pre set at 40-60PSI. However, the switch is adjustable if you want to lower the pressure setting.
