I just installed a new GE whole house water filter in order to replace
a smaller previously installed filter that just didnt handle the capacity well.
Previously, the old filter caused a bit of switch chatter, but the new one seems
to have more switch chatter. Before I started the installation, I had read up
on the gould pump installation to see how to connect stuff if I wanted to
change anything while installing the new filter and the pressure switch chatter
info stuck in my mind but didnt seem to have instructions to do the job.
I figured if it chattered I would do more investigation after the install, but I still
havent found what I need to know how to move the pressure switch to the
other side of the filter near the tank.
Knowing I might have to deal with this I installed a 3/4 pipe about 8" long in that spot with a cap on it in case I had to cut in and do the switch install.
What I am looking for specifically is what I need to do for this part.
Do I need to get pressure switch tubing, if so, how do I fit it to the switch
unit? How do I plug the old tube that goes to the pump?
What type of conversion fittings will I need to change a 3/4" pipe down to the size of the tube?
If you need pictures of my setup I can do that but I am figuring this is a rather common type of question that I just haven't turned up the answer to yet.
I also just want to get a more qualified answer than my ideas on what i need
to do since i am a bit new to the pump area of my plumbing.
this is a Gould shallow well pump.
Thank you,
