pump water pressure switch

What’s the biggest mistake that you think you are making now? To install the pressure switch and not care! 

 Most homeowners and even some contractors install a pump water pressure switch and never touch the factory presets. But here’s the kicker: factory settings are generic. They’re not tuned for your unique water usage, pump curve, or pressure tank size—leading to poor flow, short cycling, and premature pump wear.

Why Adjust Your Pressure Switch at All?

If your water pressure feels weak—or the pump keeps clicking on and off—your pump water pressure switch is likely out of sync with your real-world usage. Factory defaults (like 30/50 PSI) may not align with household demands, multi-story buildings, or high-efficiency fixtures.

When to adjust:

●        Upgrading to a larger pressure tank

●        Installing a booster pump or VFD

●        Adding multiple bathrooms or irrigation lines

●        Experiencing rapid short-cycling or flow drop-offs
