First of all I should of started my last comment with a THANK YOU FOR AN
AWESOME VID!! Out of many many we watched yours was the most descriptive
and helpful so thank you! I think we have figured it out it is a small tube
that was half full of really dirty water. It looks like a tube you would
use in a fish tank the air filter etc...
+Lovbeinamom Thanks for watching. I know what system your talking about now. That tube is to supply air pressure to the switch. If it is plugged you wouldn't get proper pressure to the switch. Glad you got it working.
There was this small brass screw thing coming from the tank that held the plastic tube. The screw was clogged and my husband cleaned it out and now the pump is working, I think we did not need the new pressure switch after all
We have watched this vid a hundred times and cannot find anything about the
small tube that runs from the pressure switch to the pump? Are you suppose
to fill it with water? With air? We have been trying to fix our crap for 2
days and have done everything you have said but still the pump runs runs
and runs????
+Norman Wei Sorry! The video was " How to INSTALL a water tank pressure switch). The video was not on adjusting water pressure, but If you watch the video to 5:08 I explain how to adjust the water pressure in the tank. Thanks for watching.
Hey Mike, great vid. Just a few questions as I am getting ready to replace
my switch today. Had a 30-50 in it and wanted to install 40-60. What do you
think? Second question, why did you inject air in water line or wherever it
went? What did you inject it into? I don't understand that part of the vid.
Please explain.
after looking at vid again, looks like you have some kind of valve
installed on water line. I don't have this, so do I have to fill tank up to
do this procedure? Also is it a good idea to install one of these air inlet
valves since I am going to drain my tank to install new switch? Never saw
one of those on there before, just on top of my pressure tank is only
place I have seen those tire valves.
thanks for your help
The 40-60 switch is fine, if the tank is capable. The reason for the air. The tank has to be half and half. Half water, half air. Your tank should have a air valve that kinda looks like the one on your car tire. Thats how you build pressure. Without the air pressure, the water pump will just kick on and off. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Mike

Great video. Tells you all you need to know about replacing filter gauge
and valve. I ordered these parts on line, but of course there were no
directions with product. Guess the company assumes the pool owner replaces
this valve every day. Thanks to Mike Klimek
