I have recntly installed a new pressure switch. I also was finally able to check the pressure tank and adjust the switch to it's proper setting(see previous thread). Now, every couple of days, I wake up to no water. (I have a KDF filter that self flushes over nite) I have to go outside (burr) and just lightly tap on the new switch and the pump kicks in. All will be fine for a couple more days.
Any idea as to the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Steve
 
Did you buy a quality switch or a big box switch?

Did you clean or at least check the pipes feeding pressure to the switch to see if they were clear?

That's gotta be it
 
pressure switch

The line to the switch was clear and yes it's a switch from Lowe's.

I assume you didn't have this problem till you installed the new switch . If you're sure the water pressure line feeding the switch is clear I'd say you got a defective switch .
