In Reply to: Water pump switch posted by Russ from MN on December 14, 2011 at 05:34:59:
Ive had well water for over 40 years, I call them "water pump pressure switches", cant tell you what Graingers calls them?? But looks like "pressure switch" or "water pressure switch" has to be the starting search criteria. Around here any Tractor Supply or Rural King or Central Tractor etc etc or Ace Hardware or Sears has them readily available on the shelves... Seems like mine were Square D brand???
NOTE The cheaper ones DO NOT HAVE THE SAFETY AUTOMATIC LOW PRESSURE SHUT OFF feature DO NOT BUY ONE WITHOUT IT...What they do is shut down if the pump looses prime or you run out of water etc so the pump dont run dry and burn up. They have a little lever on the side you have to turn and hold to manually override the low pressure shut down feature until the pump primes and builds up pressure above the shut down setting.
If you have the cheaper one that doesnt have the auto low pressure safety shut down feature and the pump looses prime, it keeps running dry AND THATS A NO NO that cost bucks to fix
Mine has clogged up due to lime in its little 1/8 inch or tubing inlet so keep that orfice clean
Next summer Im giving up after 40 years of wells and hooking to rural water woooooo hooooo
