Fire Pump Controller Configured To Control Pressure
Sprinkler pump pressure switch. Booster sprinkler pump booster pumps operate by leveraging pressurethis is the type you need to have if theres not a ton of water pressure present in your area. Pressure switches are used on water pumps for the accurate control of the pump as it produces pressurized water. Its this distinction that makes pressure switches safe for dry pipe preaction and deluge fire sprinkler systems. However with the pressure switch the pump can be adjusted to turn on and off at predetermined settings to control the pump and subsequent pressure. The pressure switch is an integral part of a private home well pumps system. Changes cut in and cut out simultaneously moving them both up higher pressure or down lower pressure.
This is the range adjustment nut. Switch off the circuit breaker or remove. Step 1 shut off the electricity to the well pump system.

Starting the pump with minimum difference in water pressure opening of a tap thus avoiding continuous.
So if all is hooked up properly in the event of blockage or no water going into the irrigation system the pressure will drop and the new pressure switch will shut the pump off. Over time the spring mechanism weakens along with an electrical malfunction of the contacts. It has the practical effect of raising or lowering the operating pressure range of the switch. Switching onstopping of the pump. Pressure switches have no parts that reach the open pipe.
