What does a low cut off pressure switch do?
A low cut off pressure switch turns the pump off in the event that the water pressure in your lines drops lower than the cut-in pressure (low number). Imagine that there was a leak or break in your water line.
How does a low pressure water pump switch work?
Low pressure cut-off pressure switches turn the pumps off if the water pressure dips below 15 psi. In this video tutorial, we explain how these switches work, and the pros and cons in using them with your pump installation. Should I use a rain harvesting system to irrigate my lawn?
Why is my well pump pressure switch not turning off?
Several problems can prevent a pressure control switch from turning off. It’s important to cut power when this happens so the switch won’t burn out. Check your water supply from the well, along with any leaks which could be affecting your pressure cut-off.
What should I do if my pressure switch stops?
Check / change pressure switch pressure settings to correct adjustment for cut-in and cut-out. Normally we see about 20 psi between cut-in and cut-out pressures. Lower the pump cut-out pressure setting. If the pump stops, this was the problem. This is more likely if someone has been fooling around with the switch.

Can a water pump have a 10 psi cut off?
It is a fairly new pump, so simply replacing the Goulds pressure conrol switch does not guarantee a solution, since the specs of the Goulds switch apparently do not allow one to operate with a cut-in/out differential of 10 psi. – Antony 9…
