Bought a brand new 1hp jet pump It was preset 20-40 When it kicks on it rapidly clicks on and off Im puzzled as to why this is happening. Im worried its going to screw the pump motor
A quick tip.....if after taping the side of the expansion tank listening for a change in the tone which defines water at the bottom and air in the top if you cannot make out a difference in tone take a small screwdriver and press the air valve atop the tank for a second and if you get water shoot out it means the diaphragm in the tank has ruptured with NO FIX...it has to be replaced .
I suppose that can be why my pressure valve reads 100 and has rusted on top of it. It could be that my pressure is all the way up for cutoff. Ill verify that as is done in the video then look for this
Very helpful. I added an expansion tank to my RV and neglected the home. This video showed me how to correct my tank bladder pressure and adjust the springs for cut on and off on the well pump. My whole system was way out of balance. Bladder at 24 psi. Cut on at 41 psi. Cut off at 58 psi. It should have been a 30/50 with the bladder at 28. Thanks for showing us how to get this done. Also, code here is to have a disconnect within a few feet of the well pump pressure switch so instead of going to my breaker panel to turn it on and off I just used that disconnect.
Great video! I just have one thing to add. I was having pressure switch issues so I shut the breaker off and cleaned the contacts using a tiny file and some electrical contact cleaner spray. Well when I turned the breaker back on and the switch cut in the arc started a fire from the residual contact cleaner. It was pretty scary hahaha but I was able to put it out, so make sure any cleaning solvent has evaporated before energizing!
Very important to fully dry-off any type of solvent specially in confined space where fumes can accumulate! Put a fan on to provide air circulation so that the fumes can't settle in one spot, not just in this case, but in any situation where a substance that gives off flammable fumes!
Very clear, and thanks for the safety warnings. I once bumped 220v and did a complete involuntary backward somersault. Pretty lucky and quite embarrassed with myself.
Troubleshot and rectified my issue without a problems at all, after watching the "Mark Jenkins Plumbing 101" for dummies such as myself!! Thank You For Your Wisdom Sir!!! The explanation was simple, concise and comprehensive!!!! Cheers!👌👍👏
Thank you so much for explaining exactly which one was the cut in and which one was the cut out. That’s the part I needed help with. Great video and very helpful advice. Single mom doing it herself over here so I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate you right now❤️💯👍
@danielarriaga5716 That's exactly what it's called, taught and is even labeled that way from the manufacturer. A simple Google search would have shown you your own ignorance typing a foolish comment.
Thank you for this informative video. I’m a single gal and have been having problems figuring out the cut off and cut on screw setting. Gonna go try. Thanks
Mark, thanks so much for the video....its been quite a while since I was on a well system (1997), and have been on another one going on two years now. My pressure switch has never worked correctly, cycling on and off every 3 or 4 seconds until pressure was restored; it finally broke the cutoff contacts loose. I did manage to find the tiny spring and the contacts on the floor, after much searching, and put them back in place, placed a drop of solder to act as a holding nut, adjusted the cut on and cut off springs (much thanks to you), and restored the power. The pump came on, just humming a happy tune, and ran for about five minutes before cutting off. I believe it's fixed. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for the clear explanation. I only have a single spring. But by dialing the screw out I lowered the high-end cutoff and now my pump shuts off each time. Previously, it was running endlessly most of the time. Cutting the power off seemed to re-set it for a little while, then it would run endlessly again. Now it shuts off. One point to make is to mark the starting point when making adjustments and counting the turns. This way you know where to go back to if need be.
Jack of all trades master of none for me...Thank you for a great video and explanation. I always thought I knew how to adjust the pressure switches; but, your video, along with a down to earth non- technical explanation made it easy to trade out the switches. Thanks...
Excellent. Thank you! Currently, i’ve got a Square D 40-60, but my cut in is 24 psi and my cut out is 74 psi. I don’t know who the hell set it that way, but at least now I know how to adjust it. Thanks!
Awesome video, great explanation and video clarity. If I may suggest sharing with the viewers ‘why’ the tank pressure is at 28 psi and that if you had a 20-40 or 40-60 you wouldn’t want it to be 28psi. To share that it must be 2psi differential from whatever kick on pressure is. 👍🏼 Really appreciate you sharing with us.
Yes, i had a guy come out, I had asked for a 30/50, he put in the square D, got paid, then I asked for the box and it said 40/60 on it, saw it on the box after he had left. Texted him and said HEY you put in a 40/60,( pressure tank is at 28 ), i had asked for a 30/50 - claimed he adjusted the 40/60 down to a 30/50, but he did NOT, and he refuses to come out and fix things, said he would refund my money and never did. So, NOW, I have to screw around w/ this crap, when I already paid to have the job done right ? I had turned on all the water, gone under there and checked, and the gauge read 60, switch clicked, then down to 40, switch clicked, he did not adjust things, so i have a worthless one year warranty on parts and labor. I'm steaming angry. Bad Ju ju on him. This is a single wide, don't need a 40/60, only one shower works here, all this has done is create pressure problems. Toilet won't stop running, didn't do that on the old 30/50. Had to vent, sorry. Thank you. I'm afraid to put air in my 36 gal. pressure tank to reach 38 psi. Any ideas ? I don't have that kind of tool he used for the screw. Ty !
@@AndreaWestlake306 as long as you turn off the power first, you can use a deepwell socket, go buy the nut driver he used, or even usr a wrench. Back out the taller adj screw until your cut in (bottom) pressure is 30 psi and then check/set your cut out pressure (top) with the shorter adj screw to 50 psi. Always recheck your cut in pressure after you make adjustments...that pressure has to be 2 psi OVER the AIR charge in the tank ie 28 psi for a 30-50 setting. You may not have to adjust for your cut out pressure at all, but check it to make sure it is 50. Didn't mean to jump in here, but I read the question and nobody answered...
@@dantco Thank you so much, ,Dantco ! I've already spent a ridiculous amt. on D switches. I appreciate you. Yep, I'm chicken, hired some one, now three to be exact. Now I have sagging walls in a mobile home, and just ordered an electric 30 gal. hot water heater, and have to wait until whenever he "feels" like it. People where i live don't seem to need money. Now i've bought a hwh for almost $600, will have to pay $600 to have it put in. I'm so phucked :( IF i could go back in time, I never would have bought this place. Thank you, Bless you for caring enough to answer me. I was just too nervous to do it.
@@AndreaWestlake306I understand...lots of people do stuff that I ain't comfortable or able to do as well. Then I do what you decided to do and hire out. Good--better--luck in the future.
My pressure switch is cutting in at 40 but cutting off at 65. Back off short side nut until spring was completely loose still would not bring down cut off pressure
Yes it was a very helpful instruction video well explained cut in and cut off are usually very confusing but with your video it was very simple thank you so much
Thank you because for the past year I’ve replaced two pumps bc my tank blaster was empty constantly making the pump kick on and off and slam now after watching your video I adjusted everything and WHAT A DIFFERENCE.. Thanks pal…
Very good video. Thanks. Please take this kindly-------most home wells have a diaphragm tank instead of a bladder tank. Bladders attach to the bottom of the tank and act like a balloon. They do not last as long as a diaphragm tank which has a sheet of rubber across the middle part of the tank. I only say this to keep someone from buying a wrong tank.
This video is very helpful. It helped me understand how these things work, however my system does not have a pressure gage, so have no idea how I would check it.
Super helpful dude. I just adjusted my cistern pump to make the water pressure in our house normal again. It has been low since we moved in, and it is because the in/out pressure was 15psi too low!
Thanks for showing the entire process, including both the tank as well the pressure switch. I also appreciate the other comment about checking for a ruptured bladder! Much appreciated. Now…out to my well house to check for snakes (Texas) & check my stuff…with caution!
Great video. And appreciate the safety mindset. Also appreciate the hose draining technique. Me being a novice, I thought you had to turn on faucets in the house.
Yes, my electrician was going to leave here, before he told me which circuit breakers went to what ! I made him stay and tell me so that I could label them.
I have read several people knocking this man for concentrating on safety. With electricity one can never be to careful. Have you ever seen a dead lineman with burn marks on him? That will make you be safe..
Mark you nailed one thing on the head. I lost a socket off my wrench and it dropped on connections of switch and shorted out the switch. Learned 2 things Turn off power and don't use socket wrench that has a loose connection. Lol
Thank you for this video. My father had just replaced his well pump and pressure switch before he was murdered and I have just moved into the home to help my mother, this was the first issue I ran across I had no clue about and just knew 100psi pressure and cutting out showers wasn't normal for the system or this house prior.
Great video I'm going to check mine also putting in a brand new well and pump at my daughter's cabin you're going to make me look very smart thanks again
Love these, as a pump installer with 20 yrs experience you make tons of work for me. The tank is way to small , wire is wrong , piping is wrong. Keep up the good work LOL
Well done . Although , it was Fairly Clear and Easy to see which way you were Turning your Nut Driver tool to make your Adjustments ... However , a Mentioning of Clockwise or Counterclockwise ... would Help to Clarify , for those Viewers that Really do need All the Additional Guidance ... Your Skill and Expertise can Afford . Thanks
best video online. I spent days trying to find this. Most clear, easiest to understand and fixed my problem in less than 10 min. You are the best. I like sub'd and will recommend you. Thank you good and kind sir.
Good video. If you could in the future use pump off and pump on instead of cut in and cut out. Everyone knows what off and on is. I’ve never heard anyone say cut in / cut out.
Excellent video! I've replaced my pump, pressure switch, and bladder tank more than a few times in my 57 years. And I've never seen such a detailed and easier way to do it. Thank you very much. Liked and subbed!
Excellent informative video. I just installed a brand new pressure tank and pressure switch. Now it does cut out at 60 (switch is 40/60) but when it gets to 40 it cuts out and then drops to zero pressure. The pressure in the tank is set to 38 psi. What am I doing wrong? Could it be the switch is defective? This switch has the reset handle on it and I have to use that to restart the system.
Hey thank you so much really helped me out I do have a question now I need to change out the switch how can I turn off the water so I can take it off the old one and attach it to the new one
Thanks for your video!! I've got a well guy that I asked the question about my well and he said just call me I will fix it not answering my questions meaning he is going to charge me . Funny thing happened as he comes by my shop every other week asking me questions about his trucks and ive told him every time exactly what it was I replied drop it off I will fix it as he started arguing with Me about my reply I walked off and said my well how about my well he left after that !!!
Then 3 days latter his truck was setting at my shop with a letter to call him with a price before I fixed it lol I called him and said my well at my house needs fixing call me before u fix it needless to say he picked his truck up and ive not talked to him after he paid me for checking his truck !!!
Hi Mark I'm trying to adjust my water tank pressure via the pressure switch and what I really liked about your video is the ELECTRICAL SAFETY THAT YOU STRESSED as I am not 100% comfortable working with electricity. So I turn off everything that you have mentioned in your video. Thanks M
You could state which way you turn the adjustments. For example to cut in at a lower pressure turn ccw. To cut in at a higher pressure turn cw. To cut out at a lower pressure turn the other adjustment ccw. To cut out at a higher pressure turn cw.
Good explanation.so adjusting the taller nut moves the 20 psi up or down. 20-40/ 25-45/ 30-50 etc.. then the smaller nut only increases the cut out 40-45-50 .

Followed all your instructions and my friends Pump is now cutting in and out correctly. Thanks again Mark.

I'm watching this so I can change my switch in the crawl space. Very scary but I haven't had water in over a week. Wish me luck
Don’t think of it as cut in cut out. Not sure why he was saying that. Pump turns off when it hits 50 and pump turns on when it hits 30.

Great video. What air compressor did you use to fill the bladder tank so fast ?
The video totally helped me...thanks!
You could state which way you turn the adjustments. For example to cut in at a lower pressure turn ccw. To cut in at a higher pressure turn cw. To cut out at a lower pressure turn the other adjustment ccw. To cut out at a higher pressure turn cw.
Good explanation.so adjusting the taller nut moves the 20 psi up or down. 20-40/ 25-45/ 30-50 etc.. then the smaller nut only increases the cut out 40-45-50 .
Thanks for the help , you went over the whole thing very good.
Hey thanks! You really help me today!

Liked & sub’d!
