Leaking pressure switch question

[TchTchr]

Hello all,

Could a leaking pressure switch cause the system to not come on? I'll be checking pressure tomorrow.

Thanks,
Brad

yes. There was a few systems that had this issue and they have the fix available so contact them and they will hook you up.

I checked pressure today. Veg 68 pounds the first couple of times and only the about 30 the next few times. It built up slowly each time.

Is that schrader valve pressure post filter? (Clay, Jason, James, Beuller?)

I changed the filter per instructions from John to make sure a clogged filter wasn't the problem. The new filter didn't fix the problem. I took the pressure readings after I changed the filter.

Post filter.

Replaced pressure sensor, and all seems to be well. Also, warmer weather helps the system switch over better. I hope to put that Bosch auxiliary water pump in before the fall (LOTS of other projects between now and then)_.

Glad you're back up and running!

Thanks Marv. I think DFA should make the auxilliary pump an add on for cold/cool weather climates. I still need to figure out where to get power for the switch and what unused poles on the toggle switch to use. At least a schematic and instructions from DFA would be great!
