All,

New to the forum and I'm hoping I can gain some good advice here so I can hold off on calling my plumber and save some $$!!

A month or so ago, I had a new water pump switch installed. From my research and elimination, it's a Pumpatrol low pressure switch. Similar to what I've read here and on other forums, I have ridiculously low water pressure, and sometimes NO pressure when other faucets are running along with my larger household appliances (shower, clothed and dish washer).

I'm sure this question has been answered, so I apologize for the redundancy. Is there anyway I can manually adjust the switch to increase the pressure myself or can this only be done by my plumber? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Brian

Plumbers are not my first choice for working on pumps. Well drillers, pump installers would be better suited to handle that job.

turn off the power. take off the lid to pressure switch. turn the lid over. inside should be instructions on how to adust your pressure switch. you will probably need a couple of nut drivers. do not exceed the pressure rating of your plumbing. do not do this without a pressure guage nearby.
