My well pump (jet pump with two inlets in my basement) is constantly running and tops out at around 43psi. It’s pumping plenty of water, I have troubleshot it to determine that I don’t have a leak anywhere above the tank, nor do I have a wet spot in my lawn. I backed off the differential on the switch to lower the cut off pressure, but it still won’t shut off. This is a new switch I replaced because of this same issue. However, when I shut the breaker off and turn it on again, the pump shuts off. It works normally until the pressure lower. When the pump cuts on at 30 psi, it just keeps running, topping out at 43psi, but won’t shut off unlesss I throw the breaker off again. Stumped. Any thoughts?
I should note, this is an old pump. I know I should replace it, but am hoping for a temporarily cheaper solution.
