What happens to the well pump when the pressure is low?
At low water pressure this switch will shut off the water pump system until it is manually re-set.
What to do if your well pump pressure switch is leaking?
If you notice water leaking under the switch housing or from the switch itself, try tightening the switch’s plumbing connection by turning the brass fitting clockwise with plumber’s pliers to tighten it.
Why does my well pump keep tripping when I Turn on the water?
Continuous tripping could be caused by a broken wire leading to or inside the water pump. Check the well tank pressure gauge to see if it is at least 40 PSI (or the cut-off PSI for your pressure switch model). If it isn’t, make sure your filter isn’t clogged or in need of a change.
What should I do if my pressure relief valve is leaking?
From there, the valve that is at the very bottom will need to be opened up. This will allow your pressure relief valve to be opened up so that it will have a chance to drain the water out of your tank. You are now ready to get your overflow pipe removed from your pressure relief valve.

What happens if the check valve on a well fails?
The check valve or foot valve prevents the well pressure tank from sending water back down into the well after it has built up with water pressure. If the valve fails, water streams back down the well, and the pressure switch turns the pump on again.
