Low water pressure...pressure switch bad?

Valveman · Dec 14, 2011

To adjust a 30/50 switch to 40/60, simply turn the large adjustment screw three full turns clockwise.

I dont need to adjust it. I just got the 40/60 preset one. My question is, is the one I bought correct for my application?

Seems to me if everyone put in a 3/4 or 1" x 12 riser to the pressure switch, and reduces just at the end, no sediment would ever make it to the entrance port of the switch.

True, but even a taller 1/4" riser should accomplish the same thing, to a lesser extent. My unit pumps sand....if it was not doing that, it wouldn't be an issue though.

In my case, it was minerals, not sediment and it didn't plug the entrance port, it built up under the diaphragm which limited the range of motion.
