About This Product
This pressure switch signals the pump to start when the water system drops to 30 psi (factory set) and stops at 50 psi (factory set). This switch is to be used with submersible well or jet pumps. It can be wired 115-Volt or 230-Volt. This switch must be used in conjunction with a well pressure tank. The air pressure in the well tank, when empty of all water, must be set to 28 psi, or the switch will not operate properly. This switch is equipped with a low-level cut-off arm that automatically shuts off a well pump when there is a dramatic decrease in pressure, such as a leak in the discharge pipes or a faulty pressure tank.

Questions & Answers
can you adjust the switch as low as 10 psi to shutoff to save the pump? or does it have to be set with cut in pressure ?
Joey Thank you for your question. This switch is preset at 30/50 pressure setting. The switch is designed to turn off if the pressure drops 10 psi below the cut-in pressure. So in this case, 20 psi. Regards Everbilt Customer Service
What material are the contacts?
Everbuilt Thank you for your question. The contacts in the pressure switch are made of copper. Regards, Everbilt Customer Service
Can I use it outdoors
Dave Thank you for your question. Yes this will work outside. Regards Everbilt Customer Service
I need a pressure switch which will shutoff our well pump should there not be enough water via the water table. In other words, if the pressure at the pressure tank drops to zero, I don’t want the pump to continue to run and eventually burn out.
USArmRangerVet Thank you for your question. The 30/50 Low Pressure switch is the correct product for your concern. This pressure switch is designed to save your pump from continuing to cycle in case of pressure loss. Regards Everbilt Customer Service
Can I use this With a Ridgid 3/4 hp Pump?
Yes, this pressure switch is compatible with most well pumps, including Ridgid 3/4 hp pumps. It's designed to work with both submersible and jet pumps. The pressure switch activates the pump when the water pressure drops to 30 psi and stops it at 50 psi. These settings can be adjusted if needed. Remember that this switch must be used with a pressure tank, and the air pressure in the tank should be set to 28 psi when empty.
Are there 12 volt pressure tank switches that can run from a solar panel battery system without an inverter?
No, inverter changes the power from dc to ac
Can this switch be adjusted to 20/30 so that the pump turns off at 30psi then turns on at 20psi? This is for a tiny home running on solar power with a 1/4 horsepower 120V water pump.
Yes, this would work. However, we would recommend purchasing our 20/40 pressure switch (item # PS2040). That way, you would only need to adjust the small screw (the range differential), instead of adjusting both the small screw and the big screw (the on/off pressure). To adjust the small screw differential down 10 PSI, you will turn the screw just under 3 revolutions (each turn is approximately 3.5 PSI). Also, ensure that your 1/4 HP pump can reach 30 PSI, or else the switch will never shut the pump off. Finally, if setting it to 20/30, ensure the air pressure in your pressure tank (drained of all water first) is set to 18 PSI (pressure tanks always need to be 2 PSI below the cut-in pressure of the switch).
Switches large and small. Whitch one is what?
I think you mean spring large and small. The large spring changes the cut in and cut out pressure together. The small spring changes the cut out only.
