Hello, I am hoping to get some help with a pressure switch that picks and drops twice each time it starts and stops.
I have replaced the pressure switch to no avail, I have adjusted the pressure both up and down. It is currently set up 40/60 psi and seems to operate properly otherwise.
Other info:
-New install of a used Berkley shallow well pump with new high pressure injector nozzel
-8 ft high draw from a lake, 1 1/4 in intake pipe
-40 ft of head in a 1 inch pipe to a bladder tank
When the pump shuts off I can see the pressure gauge bouncing about 5 psi, thinking the problem might be caused by the head pressure and the bladder tank at the top of the head, I installed a check valve in the line just beyond the pump. To no avail.
I'm out of ideas here and would appreciate some expert opinions.
Regards
