    Pressure Switch Cycles

    I kept hearing the click of the switch every minute or so. I watched it for awhile and found it would switch on at 41 and off (arcs sometimes) at 60 (30 seconds). It loses pressure (takes a minute) until it switches on again. This goes on and on and on. There is no water running from any...

    Flow required to properly blow out sprinkler system

What seems to be often missing is how much CFM flow is required and what are the maximum and minimum PSI requirements. For 1" polyethylene main pipe 50 PSI seems to...

    Chasing down a PSI drop

    Hello All, I just moved into a house and noticed some pretty bad water pressure issues. Static pressure is 40psi, which while low should be OK. If I open a single tap however, it drops to a little under 20psi which leads me to believe it's a flow issue. I had the water authority check the...
