Symptoms of switch problems
Rapid clicking at the tank, pump never starting despite low pressure, or pressure that jumps past normal range. Sediment in switch tubing is common in older Tucson wells—cleaning or replacement resolves cycling.
Adjustment and replacement
Adjust cut-in/cut-out only within manufacturer range—too narrow a band causes short cycling. Replace switches when contacts pit or lever fails. Always match tank air charge when changing switch settings.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replace a pressure switch myself?
Possible if power is safely off and plumbing layout is familiar—many homeowners prefer pros to avoid misadjustment.
Is clicking always the switch?
Waterlogged tanks mimic switch failure—test tank bladder before blaming the switch alone.
