What if my new pump/airtank etc are brand new and after bleeding out the water so it flows properly it ( the pressure switch contacts) turns on for 3 seconds then off every minute exactly then ON for 3 seconds then OFF again for a minute over and over again? Any help would great GREATLY APPRECIATED ❤❤❤❤❤
Could you please let me know what type of pressure switch I can install on a 2" (DN50) water line so that it automatically starts and stops the pump at 3 bar and 6 bar, respectively?
Negotive and positive is for dc power. Ac power is ground, natural, and hot. For basic 115v ground and nutural are very similar. You can operate a light by only running hot wire to it and putting the nutural wire in the ground lol. But don’t be surprised when worms come up from you doing so lol.
thanks... I was just wondering what is usually wrong when they do the same thing they all inevitably do when they are old ... it won't come on at low or zero pressure until you thump the side and it turns on, raises to set pressure and turns off. I was hoping I couldd clean some contact or something
I'm wondering why mine will kick on, and then when the water is off. It keeps pumping. Seems the contacts keep touching and becomes stuck wide open when not in use. Is there and adjustment I can make for the contacts to create a wider gap?
Neither the black nor the white is called positive or negative; the video was completely wrong to even use those terms as this is AC or Alternating Current. Black is hot and white is neutral.
Thank you (911) Mother hen needs h20 for her chicks... Is there a way to do any adjustments without a working gauge on the pump or pressure tank. I bought the house and the pump was as is. The pump runs so far 20 min. and it never shut off. The pressure switch states that its calibrated at 30-50. I set the pressure , bladder tank at 28 psi with a pump. I don't know if the pressure switch is at the 30-50 factory settings. Is there a way to back out the screws and start over counting the turns. Or in a pinch get the pump to get water to the house. The pressure tank is empty and the pump just runs with out any water to house or well/trol pressure tank. Any help is appreciated.
My compressor starts working and builds pressure up to 150psi but sometimes during work it will not start and won't keep tank charged. Sometimes it turns on only for a few seconds then goes quiet. Sometimes I hears something that it wants to start like air going somewhere through the pipe for about 2 second and then quiets and stays like that. Fails to keep up pressure in tank when I use it. Pressure goes low as 50psi but compressor doesn't start. Then I had to open drain valve to release remaining air pressure in the tank. Disconnect it from AC power for few minutes and it starts working again build up to 150psi again. I don't hear any air leaks. What could be wrong??
Failed to specify whether tightening adjustment raised or lowered pressure setting. Also did not explain details on adjustments of second spring. Need a redo on this video!
How do can I move Pressure Switch from pump like that to water pressure pump? Now I have a pressure switch just on my well shall pump and I want to instal new Pressure tank in my house wich come with pre-installed pressure switch how do I rewiring pressure switch from the pump to pressure switch on my new pressure tank
Woke up 4 days ago to no water. The control box for the pump was buzzing. The pressure switch was completely rusted and corroded over. Had the pressure tank and softening system replaced 4 years ago... the company apparently thought I was an oblivious single, female home owner and wouldn’t notice if they cheaped out and not install a new pressure switch & pressure gauge. They were right, I didn’t notice-until now😡 I checked the breakers, they hadn’t tripped and were putting out 240 v. Checked the pressure tank. It’s fine, set properly with cut-in at 38 (40-60 for this tank). So I installed a new pressure gauge. Checked the power to the switch-it’s getting 240 v. But there’s no power in wires going to the control box. I looked at the box and saw that the start capacitor was blown. I just picked up a new one today for the 1/2 hp Franklin Electric control box. I haven’t tested the wires in the control box yet. My questions: 1) Can a bad/failing pressure switch cause the start capacitor to blow? 2) Is there no power going from the pressure switch out to the control box due to the blown capacitor? Can that cause a ‘dead’ reading on the volts from the switch to the control box? Thank you for your help, I know very little about electrical stuff, just enough to flip the breaker off before I touch anything!!!!
Much Respect!!! Also, we're very sorry that you had to put up with such numb skulls. Answering your questions: Q no. 1. The start capacitor may not have enough sufficient time to cool down after each start, which can lead to overheating. If this happens, the capacitor will normally blow out (fail). You might also notice a faint burning odor. Q no. 2. While this issue can be a culprit of a dead reading, we would also recommend checking the circuit breaker, which may cause similar symptoms. We hope this helps. Good Luck!!
We are having a problem with the pressure being lost incredibly fast, never going above 23 seconds without switching on and usually around ten at the adjustments we've tried thus far. I have no clue if the pressure being lost so quickly is because of the adjustment switches or if it is a problem elsewhere in the pump or system. If anyone can help me, that would be much appreciated.
sounds like the pressure in (the air bladder of) your water tank was too high. they're usually inflated via a Schrader valve like a car or bicycle tire. it should be a couple psi below the cut-on pressure you're setting the pressure switch to.
During second year aka the dreaded AC theory we learned more useless crap than what one will ever be required to know! That being said, I don’t believe positive and negative is a term used when discussing anything involving AC current... just saying
I don't wanna sound mean but you have no idea what your talking about when it comes to the wiring black wire is hot white is a neutral unless it's a 240 volt then white is also hot
Thank you, this was really useful. I adjusted the pressure switches on our pump and now it works great!
Happy we could help Oliver!
Straight to the point and perfectly succinct... Brilliant! Thank you! 😎

All very well, power in and motor power, if not indicated as in line and motor,. How do you know which is which
Can that adjustment be done on a pedrollo easy press smart head controller?
Negotive and positive is for dc power. Ac power is ground, natural, and hot. For basic 115v ground and nutural are very similar. You can operate a light by only running hot wire to it and putting the nutural wire in the ground lol. But don’t be surprised when worms come up from you doing so lol.
What happens if the small tubing to the switch gets disconnected??
Would the pump run continuously till it burns out?
thanks...

Nice and simple, thank you!

Thank you very much! That was very well explained.
No problem Jewelz!
Can you put a vfd on a pump like this?
Thank you very good vedio 🎉
No comments on the diaphragm on the underside of the switch which is vital on the operation of the switch.
Very helpful 👌
I needed this
I thought that black is hot or positive and white is neutral. Am l wrong?
Black it positive and white is neutral
Neither the black nor the white is called positive or negative; the video was completely wrong to even use those terms as this is AC or Alternating Current. Black is hot and white is neutral.
@@DesireeCabrera-ip9uy no,there is no positive and negative in acv.
Thanks alot👍

Awesome! Thanks. Now please go buy a 3/8" nut driver. Please.
Perfect

With a new 30-50 it will not close when the psi is 0 ?? What can I do??? Power is on.
What about the pressure in the tank
My pressure switch keeps clicking on and off rapidly when I'm using the water then the pressure drops to 0 and I have no water
I have a problem with my pressure regulator switch it is not engaging and it looks like the contacts are burnt

U didn't say which way to turn them to either raise or lower the pressure
You put the wiring on the wrong terminals. L1 And L2 go on the outside terminals.
So the neutral (L2) is in the wrong spot
@@spetrovich95 it doesnt matter,as long as one is on one of the two on the right and the other is on one of the two on the left

you mixed up positive and negative black is the live wire
You did not show how to adjust the second adjustment or why.
this will show you ua-cam.com/video/1VNSv7xVzzU/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/1VNSv7xVzzU/v-deo.html
here is an actual video to show how to adjust a pressure switch. Your welcome.
Thanks carrot top lol
its 220 acv,there is no positive wire and negative wire
that would be neutral and hot not positive and negative
During second year aka the dreaded AC theory we learned more useless crap than what one will ever be required to know! That being said, I don’t believe positive and negative is a term used when discussing anything involving AC current... just saying
not wired right, motor to 2 inside screws!! it`s shown under the cover and it`s still wrong, have a look @ 2:49
Bro.. isn't black positive and white negative..? I'm not a rocket scientist but even I know around 1:50 sounds pretty backwards mate
no its not.its acv,there is no positive and negative wire in acv.
leant nothing new
🤡
Useless video... absolutely learned nothing.
I don't wanna sound mean but you have no idea what your talking about when it comes to the wiring black wire is hot white is a neutral unless it's a 240 volt then white is also hot
