Just wanted to tell you THANK YOU. You just saved my family's backside. We are literally in the middle of a hurricane and we lost water. Called every well guy for 50 miles and no one could come out on this down pour of a Saturday evening. Followed you steps to the T and BAM!!! We have water. So again thank you.

Thank you!!! I watched your video. I cleaned the connectors on the pressure switch with an emery board, tightened the screws, put the cap on. Turned on the power. I got water!!!! Yay!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you Bill, for your excellent instructional video. Took it step by step, turned off my hot water heater, and well pump, use a volt meter, etc.etc...Contact points were the problem! Hardest part of the job was taking off the side panel of my well house...Saved me a ton of money!!!

Thank you. My submersible pump wasn't working this morning. I watched your video and got it to start working again.

This guy is super Thanks for all of your help. Was able to remove the carbon off the connector and she fired up. Once againTHANKS.

Thank so much for this video. Water pump suddenly stopped working four days ago. I thought of calling a again the company that fixed it. Then I found your video. I was a contact problem I did not even file the contacts just open and close then switched back control panel and pump is running like new. The feeling of satisfaction from being able to solve a problem was so great. "You made my day.".

Thanks for this. This video helped me get my pump running again this morning. 👍

I wouldn't have believed it if it didn't happen to me. Tank ran out of water and pump would not work. After watching this video I checked the switch and a small hard-shell bug had gotten wedged between the electrical contacts. Pulled it out and everything is back to normal. Thanks!

Just wanted to take a minute to thank you, as you just saved me $30 on a new pressure switch. A couple points, when I tested mine with my multimeter I wasn't getting continuity across one side and that was the side that needed cleaning. Of course if you're in there, might as well do both, right? But I had already cleaned both and still no juice. So testing it guided me to which one to work on more. Also, I didn't have a file slim enough to fit in there so I wrapped some sandpaper around the tip of flat head used that to clean up the points. Hope this helps someone else down the road.

Thank you. Just watched your video and cleaned points. Now sorted my pressure switch.

Thank you for this. Just saved our family this evening

[jbuist]

Thanks! I figured my switch stopped working due to dirty contacts but wasn't sure exactly where they were. A few swiped with a nail file in the right spot and we're back up and running!

A GIGANTIC THANK YOU all the way here in the Philippines at my other house! The high humidity and salt air here at the beach was the culprit on the contacts. A simple nail file fixed this problem!!!

[ryanvanesch]

Thank you. You helped me get water going on a Sunday! I’ll replace pressure switch tomorrow but filing got me a shower today!

[mikeotto]

Thanks for the video! Got my pressure switch working again. Save a costly maintenance bill!

[lindaclayton]

Thanks again 😊👍 a few years back it was a bug between the contract. And the was a wow! Moment for me 😅

[thomasdanielson]

This video has been by far the most helpful out of anything Ive found. My points were sparking as it turned out extremely dirty. I took my chainsaw file and my pump has never been happier. God bless!

[ericwidman]

Thank you. Saved me a lot of time and anguish. Bug's had made nest in cap. 1 loose connection. Up and running again.

I have the exact same pressure switch, and it wouldn't turn on after 2 weeks without power. I cleaned the contact surfaces lightly with some sandpaper and presto, it works now. Must have been corrosion on the 4 contacts. Thank you.
