the procedures described.
Jet Pump and 2-Wire Submersible Pump (No Control Box)
Pressure Switch Replacement
REMOVING THE EXISTING SWITCH
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Drain all water pressure from the system.
3. Remove existing wires from the pressure switch including the ground wires.
IMPORTANT: Make note of which wires are the power supply wires and the pump motor wires. This will help during the installation of the new switch.
4. Remove the old switch from the system.
CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE
1. Before installing the new pressure switch, fi rst check the air pressure of the pressure tank AFTER draining it of all water. To check the tank's
air pressure:
a. Disconnect the power supply and drain all water from the tank.
b. Locate the air valve (similar to automobile tire air valve) usually near the top of the tank. Check the tank's pressure using an automotive
tire pressure gauge.
2. The pressure of the air in your tank must be 2 PSI below the cut-in pressure of your
new switch. If this pressure is not set correctly, the pump will run in short cycles (starting
and stopping often), increasing electricity cost and wearing out the pump and/or pressure
switch. See the table located to the right.
IMPORTANT:
□ Cut-in Pressure: Pressure when the pump turns on.
□ Cut-out Pressure: Pressure when the pump turns off.
3. To adjust the tank's air pressure to 2 PSI below the switch "cut-in" pressure:
a. If pressure is too high, bleed air from the tank by using the automotive tire pressure gauge or the end of a screwdriver.
b. If pressure is too low, use a compressor or tire pump to add air.
c. Recheck the pressure with the tire gauge and continue to add or remove air until the pressure is 2 PSI below the switch "cut-in" setting.
(For example, a tank used with a 30/50 Pressure Switch should contain 28 PSI of air.)
IMPORTANT: If your tank is not holding the air pressure that you added, then your tank may be defective. If you check the air pressure and water
comes out of the air valve, that is a sure sign that the tank is defective and needs to be replaced. For further tank questions, please contact the tank
manufacturer.
INSTALLING THE NEW SWITCH
1. Secure the new switch to the jet pump motor or position the switch on the piping for submersible pump system. Use thread tape on the
pressure switch inlet to prevent leaks. Ensure that no thread tape is blocking the opening of the switch or the pipe fi tting. Any blockage from
thread tape or debris will cause the switch to malfunction and not shut off the pump.
2. Remove the switch cover and feed wires from the pump motor and power supply through the openings on either side of the switch.
3. Attach motor wires to the terminals marked "LOAD" or "2 and 3" terminals. Attach the ground wire to the green ground screw.
See Figures 1 and 2.
4. Attach power supply wires to the terminals marked "LINE" or "1 and 4" terminals. Attach the ground wire to the green ground screw.
See Figures 1 and 2.
IMPORTANT: For safety, the switch must be grounded by direct metal to metal contact. Motor must be grounded to conform to local electrical codes.
CONSULT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
5. Re-install the switch cover and reconnect the power. Test the system several cycles for proper operation.
