The presure sensor is attached to the pump. Usualy with two screws. It can be replaced.
But if you dig a bit you will find its activated by a flexable rubber gasket kinda deal. The gasket has a very small hole in it that slows the water flow through it. Slowing the reaction of the water pressure to the switch.
From time to time I find these little water pumps will surge or not work at all if that little hole is plugged or partialy blocked. But its attached to the pump not the switch thats removeable.
Oh my written word is not so good.
Any one get the drift of that ?
That's interesting to learn, Thanks!*
Heres a water pump item you may understand way better than me.* Before hearing your input I just figured our water pump was simply breaking down and would soon need replacement.* But, maybe not!
Our water pump will sometimes work perfect, in that you can leave the switch on and as long as no faucet is on there is no surge (when using a faucet it always supplies good pressure). Other times we have to turn the switch off because even without a faucet on the pump keeps giving an intermittent surge that lasts about a second each time; sometimes the one second surge is spaced about 30 seconds apart and sometimes as long as several minutes or even longer apart.* Am I correct from reading your input that I may be able to simply disassemble the pump and either clean or replace its flexible rubber gasket... or even replace the whole pressure switch if needed?
Your water pump wisdom is much appreciated! - Art
