Title: pump pressure switch
Post by: GB Window Cleaning on June 15, 2011, 08:34:26 pm
so when i tried to put 50 mtr 6mm hose on my 80 psi pump after about 2 minutes the pump stoped  ???

the supplier i bought it from said it might be the presure switch! i dont know anything about pumps so what did he mean exacly?

i even cut the hose to 25 mtrs and the pump still stops, strange!

The pump stopped and never worked again or the pump kept cutting in and out?

you need to turn the pressure switch up - little allen grub screw on top of the pump, turn it clockwise until the pump runs continually (with the hose fully wound up).
