Nice video. I saw when you brought the pump in that you got water coming out after you took of that switch. Inside that tank you have a rubber bladder, or what its called in English. On the other side of the tank there should be a normal car valve for filling air around that rubber bladder, that pressure should be set to 0.3 bar under the pressure when the pump starts, in that way you get maks water out of the tank in between in and out of that switch, and by that saving the life of that switch. So if your pump starts at 2 bar, your air pressure should be at 1.7 bar. Just turn of your pump, open the tap inside and fill it up whit air. Looks like your white tank is ca 20 liter, should give you about 5 liter of water out of it from maks to minimum pressure. I run my well pump in between 3.5 and 4.5 bar, then i do not feel if its low or high pressure from the pump, it feels all the same when filling the water kettle or in the shower. My tank is filled whit 3.2 bar of air when empty. Happy winter living, greetings from North east Norway.

Great fix, would it help building a shed over the well head and insulate it giving the pump and electricity supply a better chance of staying corrosion free and maintenance easier

I grew up on well water. By the time I was 14 years old I was doing all of the maintenance on my dad's well system. I am very familiar with this type of pressure switch. A little hint if you don't mind. That is a two contact switch but only one set of contacts is needed to operate the pump motor. Wire the switch so that one set of contacts is bypassed, that way if, and when that set burnes up you can simply switch over to the other set of contacts. The pressure switch is not the "service" switch so only breaking one leg of the circuti is perfectly fine. Almost all AC condencing units only break one leg.

However these pumps need to function under much more dire circumstances. Personally I think it's a good idea to use two contacts for outside uses, it might even be code in sweden (I should look that up). Even better would be to use a submerged pump and move the pressure switch inside to more favorable conditions. Not only can you service the switch with a pressurized system (to a certain degree), the contacts should last a lot longer in less humid conditions.

@@patrickd9551 I do not mean to disagree with you about the pump switch but, if I may, I would like to point out something about the way these double pole switched function. If you notice, only one set of contacts shows signs of use. No matter how quickly these switches open or close there will always be just one set of contacts that opens before the other set. This is the set of contacts that "makes and breakes" the circuit. The "clean" set never breakes the circuit, that is why it stays like new.

@@davidtyndall8880 You may, if I also may add something. I do agree that, in normal circumstances, only one contact will do the switching until the unit basically dies. The second contact is there for backup. Because contactors do have a tendancy to "stick". It doesn't happen often, but when it does, you are happy with the backup contact breaking the circuit. These pressure switches are like 40 bucks, so only in an emergency would I bypass one switch. That is why I would personally always double up. But then again, I would also move the pressure switch inside to make my life easier. These buggers always crap out at the worst times (raining, snow, right in the middle of your wife giving birth, etc)

@@Thatguy-fg4fp exactly my point. It's fine as an emergency repair, but it's not wise to rely on for a continued period of time. Not for that particular price point for a new switch. And worst of all if you rely on a botched repair, you might find out you already "repaired" it and now you are without until you get a replacement.

Hi, suggest running pipe from well into house and install pump inside of house or basement, I have a shallow well pump in basement, also could be a deep well pump, don`t have to fight the cold in winter if there is a problem with pressure switch or any part of pump.

This is how I have it in my house in Norway. Long pipe to my well, and pump in my basement. If cold without snow I have to put on the wire heating inside the pipe. Having a pump outdoors is a ticking time bomb.

Looks like you have a shallow well but for ease of working in that pit I would go ahead and upgrade to a submersible pump inside the well with a nice large pressure tank inside your well housing or if it's possible even move a tank inside the house but the biggest tank you can fit inside that well the easier it would be on your pump plus it seem a little bit on energy costs running a bigger pressure tank

@@Islandwaterjet usually your precious which is just off your pressure tank it doesn't typically matter where your pump is as long as you have a sufficiently sized line coming from the pump to the pressure in order for the pressure to get to the tank in a reasonable amount of time and it sounds like you have a reasonable sized line. If you have a submersible pump it's a lot easier to have the issue but jet pumps are a little bit more finicky

My friend and I built a roof and shed around his so that the snow doesn't lay on top and we put a 25 watt bulb and 100 what bulb inside the pump tank and it doesn't freeze up it only froze up when the lights burned out so I don't know what he did after that maybe just change the light bulbs or put a small heater inside but we built a little shed to go around it instead of letting that snow fall on top

The pump/switch would probably last longer, but do consider the noise before you put in the basement. You will hear it every time it run... I would consider to build a small well house above ground, over the well, and put it there.
