One reviewer uses pressure switch on this pump. How much maximum pressure this pump can produce? Thanks

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.

Original switch rusted, store had on off switches 20/40 30/50 40/60. Our well was about 150 feet deep and we selected a 30/50 and a new pressure gauge,it works fine. We emptied our blue water tank with bladder and with tire pump pressurized tank with air to two pounds below our on number (30-2=28) I do not know max pressure of pump is but very deep we'll would may not reach a high pressure shut off pressure. If you want or need to go up or down but new switch and repressurize empty tank on pressure minus two. Switch about $30

the package did not indicate max PSI but I am doubtful if it can achieve that as the pumping action is only about 4 inch draw. My advice is get a bigger pump with higher pressure.

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 60psidepending on the control setting. Depending how much water is running the pressure switch will cycle on and off which is normal.

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.

Yes this pump has a pressure switch and will begin pumping when faucet is turned on and then stops when turned off.

this is not a good choice if you put the pump 200 feet down, as the pump will stall (zero flow) at 221 feet of head.Subtract your setting depth from the 'shutoff head', and multiply the difference by 0.433 to get the maximum pressure at the tank.Set your cutoff switch somewhat below that max pressure or the pump will run continuously....

The shutoff (zero flow) head is 221 feet. If you have the pump 220 feet down the well, water will barely creep out at the top.Subtract the depth of where you set the pump from 221, and multiply the difference by 0.433 to get the maximum (zero flow) pressure.Since you want more than zero flow, set your switch to cutoff somewhat elow that pressure. For a deep well, probably pick a lower GPM pump in the same power rating.

No pressure switch... comes with simple on/off switch and a wiring harness that you can plug in the front/rear locker switches. Does not include the manifold or switches for the lockers. Max air pressure this puts out is 150 psi. I'm currently in the process of installing it in my rig, but still need to buy a 2 gal tank and all the fittings/pressure switches/manifold/etc...

Yes, it has a pressure switch that you can adjust to turn the pump on at a low pressure and then shut off once it reaches the desired pressure. I set mine to turn on at 30 psi and off at 50 psi. It worked quite well.

These pumps are not designed to create pressure. It is not recommended, it will shorten the life of the pump.

I went thru 2 of these. We had pretty high watee pressure and the switch leaked on both of them. It mostly turnrd it off but there was a constant dribbling when i usedvthe switch.

I am using the pump to replace a impulse pump on a garden tractor and it works fine and I have not had any problems. I don't know what the exact pressure is.

This pump simply doubles the input pressure. In my case, 40psi becomes 80psi.

The pump will work fine. Biggest problem is the pressure switch that comes with it. It is non adjustable and cut in pressure is so low you pretty much run out of water before it kicks in. There are adjustable switches available that are adjustable and not expensive.

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.

The switch has two sets of contacts. You can use a single set of contacts for 120v or both sets for 240. It has a ground lug on the body. It is meant for simple 3 wire (2 wires with ground) pump. It's just a water pressure operated relay. Be sure to check and adjust the actual pressure it's operating at, I had to. The pressure number on the box is just the factory pre-set.

Every pump has a max pressure. I dont know what this pump max pressure is because I did not put a guage on its discharge. I did not close discharge either to get a pressure build up. I use the pump for jet fuel (kerosene) and have a height (head) differential of about 3 or 4 feet (not much pressure). It pumps about 5 gallons a minute. I had to do a repair on the pump after a minute of first time use because the rotor snagged and caused a burr on the front plate causing it to seize. The repair took five minutes and the pump has worked fine since.
