Will a 1/2 hp submersible well pump motor handle the pressure when this switch is set to 40-60 psi cut-in/cut-out range? (30/50 now in use.)

William,A 1/2 hp submersible pump should handle 60 psi with no trouble. I have an above ground pump with a deep well (bottom of well) jet that pumps 70 psi. I believe your submersible should do even better. Dan

This switch is adjustable. You can set the cut-in and cut-out pressures separately. It's set at the factory for 40/60, but you can make adjustments internally to lower (and I think higher) pressures, e.g., 30/50. (Note: I haven't done this and I don't work for the company and accept no liability.) The Square D web site is not very helpful, but the web site for Pumptrol (the Square D pressure switch brand) has a lot of info. If you look up the 9013 series of pressure switches, you'll probably find the info you're looking for.

This is precisely the reason I purchased this pressure switch. I had one that was set to 30-50 and I wanted to raise my house pressure to 40-60 and this pressure switch worked just fine. I have a Goulds 5GS07412 at 275 feet below the surface. I think this is a 1/2 hp.

Without knowing the capabilities or specifications of the well pump you mention I cannot advise, but the switch can be set to 40-60 cut-in/cut-out range.

If the well is not over 200' (feet) deep the 40-60 should be fine. My well is 180' deep and that is what i have with no problems.

Yes it will. I have a 1/2 hp 10 gpm submersible pump set to 50- 75psi. My well is for lawn irrigation and water trough for cattle. I have done this for years. A pump technician had suggested this to me to solve a "short cycling " problem. We regularly would hand water with one hose going and the pump was cutting off and on very frequently. I turned up pressure till the pump would run constantly with one hose only in operation. I also Highly recommend the low pressure cut off feature as this can save your pump if you run out of water.

Jim - The universal pressure switch will work on any compressor whose tank has a two wire motor connection, male 1/4 pipe thread tank fitting, and unloader connection to the compressor. It starts the compressor at around 90 psi. and shuts off at about 125 - 130 psi. Hope this helps. :)

The pump works very well. I have seen pressure as high as 85 psi. This is not recommended as it could cause pipes to burst. Set presser switch to 60 cut off, 40 to cut on.

The information on how to adjust is usually inside the cover. The 30/50 pressure adjustment is most common. Your well pump will turn on at 30 PSI and turn off at 50 PSI. The air bladder on the water storage tank should be 1 to 2 PSI greater than the lower adjustment on the Square D when the tank is empty.

Should be no problem if you have a pressure tank after the RO. Order the 60 or 80 psi pressure switch if the tank and RO can handle it.

I expect it would work at lower pressure. I would not guess at a lower limit but cannot imagin any damage to the unit as a result.

According to the manual with my #61800 you can select 30, 45, 60, or 80 psi. Selector is inside tank.

I am not familiar with the model numbers but if you have either a submersible or shallow well pump plus a pressure tank you should be able to install this switch on your pressure tank to turn the pump off and on with the rise and fall of the pressure. Normally it does not depend on the model of pump you have. I am assuming the pump is for household use and that you are using a 220 volt single phase line. Normally such a pump would be at least 1/2 hp and no more than 1 1/2 hp. So unless you have some kind of commercial unit for a commercial application it should work.

Yes. I like to use a paddle type flow switch for booster pumps, but a pressure switch will work fine. Setting the high-low and range adjustments can be a little tricky in some situations.

The PSI rating is not stated, neither in the manual or on the unit. The pump does however has a pressure switch that shuts the pump of when the flow is zero.

As far as I know this is used on a well, it cuts the pump on when the pressure drops to 30 pnd and off at 50. not sure if that would work with an irrigation system or not but if works with a pressure sensing switch and those pressures it might.

I don't have a max but my well is always over 80 PSI and under constant pressure. I am sure this thing can handle anything the schedule 40 PVC pipe can handle. It is built like a tank. Very high quality.

The 3/4 HP shallow well pictured should be adequate. We pump over 100 ft. . Do not get a 1/2 horsepower.

My pump is a submersed pump 90 feet down,my advise is to contact the folks at handy well they are great at answering all your of connection and how too's.give them a call

It should be 2 psi below what your pump is rated for. If you have a pump that is 30-50, it will kick on at 30 PSI and shut off at 50 PSI so you would want the tank pressure to be 28 psi. If you have a 40-60 pump, you would want the tank to be 38 psi. Hope this helps.

It should not matter where you turn the water on. The control turns the well pump on at 30psi and then shuts off at 50 or 60psi depending on the control setting. Depending how much water is running the pressure switch will cycle on and off which is normal.

My compressor supports up to 150psi, but the motor always auto-shuts off when it reaches 120psi. To this date, I have had no issues with this ballvalve as it has not leaked any air from the compressor as it held air for months. Hope this helps.
