I hope someone can help! We have a Well Mate Pressure Tank. No problems to date and then this morning we have uber low pressure. I have tried moving the reset lever to introduce more pressure but it didn't work. Am I looking at a reset lever issue or something more substantial. I apologise in advance if my terminology is incorrect - I don't have much of a clue!

Then you need to trace back to the breaker panel and see if it is 240V and if so see if both legs are hot. It could be a bad breaker.

Okay, so we had an electrician friend come over to test the voltage - he thought it was the switch control capacitor - so we went and got a new one. Installed it, moved the reset to prime and it blew up. Why? I am assuming the last one blew up as well - why are they blowing up?
